Yes. In his remaining hours in office, President Bill Clinton pardoned fugitive from the law, Marc Rich, who owed the United States Government a considerable amount of money in back taxes. Rich is still evading federal law enforcement and is currently residing in Switzerland.
This is the first time the pardon power was used in this way. Also, in the 11th hour of his Administration, former President Clinton pardoned 140 individuals, including Patty Hearst, Roger Clinton, his step-brother, and Susan McDougal, former Whitewater partner who served time for contempt of court when she declined to answer questions regarding her Whitewater real estate dealings with President and Mrs. Clinton.
