## Caption

In January 2021, during his final hours in office, Trump issued 143 pardons and commutations. One went to Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., aka Lil Wayne.⁠
⁠
Wayne was only days away from being sentenced after pleading guilty to being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He faced up to 10 years behind bars on the federal charge.⁠
⁠
Without the Trump-issued get-out-of-jail-free card, Wayne would have likely been in prison this Saturday.⁠
