WASHINGTON (AP) — Chelsea Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst who leaked classified documents to WikiLeaks, won’t have to serve a 35-year-sentence after all.

President Barack Obama has commuted Manning’s sentence after six years in prison.

Obama also pardoned 64 others people, including retired Gen. James Cartwright. He was charged with making false statements during a probe into disclosure of classified information.
