U.S. President Donald Trump has pardoned a convicted bank robber, Jon Ponder, who is now running a post-prison assistance programme.
A pre-recorded video of Trump signing an executive order for the pardon, with Ponder standing beside him, aired on Tuesday night.
Coming amid the Republican National Convention, the president’s move is seen by some as an attempt to draw attention to criminal justice.
Criminal justice reform and the need to give repentant criminals a second chance are ideas promoted by Trump and his party.
