U.S. President Donald Trump granted clemency this week to 30 people, including Emory Jones, a longtime associate of rap mogul Jay-Z, White House “pardon czar” Alice Marie Johnson posted. Jones served nearly 16 years in federal prison on drug charges, Johnson wrote in a social media post announcing the clemency actions. The president took the action on Thursday, according to Johnson, the White House official responsible for organizing clemency efforts. Jones was released in 2010 after Jay-Z wrote a letter to a judge on his behalf, seeking a sentence reduction. Jones has worked as an executive at Jay-Z’s Roc Nation entertainment company and co-founded the Paper Planes clothing brand.
