Original Note:
The statement claiming Donald Trump pardoned a “relative” is incorrect. A “son-in-law’s father” is not considered a legal relative per US Code 5 USC § 3110(a)(3), which defines legal relatives for Federal conflict-of-interest rules. https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/uscode.php?width=840&height=800&iframe=true&def_id=5-USC-554435892-1640821362&term_occur=999&term_src=
