Fred Davis Clark, Jr. was convicted in 2014 of bank fraud, making false statements to a financial institution, and obstructing an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The charges stemmed from a $300 million Ponzi scheme.

He was sentenced to 40 years in prison and ordered to pay more than $300 million dollars. He was released the day of Trump's commutation.

Clark's company - Cay Clubs Resorts and Marinas - took money from investors to develop vacation rentals. However, the properties never were developed. Clark used the money to attract additional investors and for his personal use.

He and his partners made the properties appear to increase in value by selling them back and forth to each other - using employees and family members as straw buyers.

The White House statement described Clark's crime as "a first-time, non-violent offense".

Charles Kushner is the father of Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner.

In 2004 he pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns and campaign finance reports.

He also pleaded guilty to witness tampering. Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his sister's husband and sent her a videotape of the encounter in an attempt to intimidate her into not testifying.

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie - who prosecuted the case as a federal attorney - called it one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes he had prosecuted.

Kushner served just over a year in federal prison from 2005 to 2006.
