Trump Issues Pardon to Former Sheriff Convicted of Bribery
US President Donald Trump pardoned Scott Jenkins, a former Virginia sheriff convicted of accepting over $75,000 in bribes to appoint untrained individuals as law enforcement officers. Jenkins, sentenced to 10 years in prison, was praised by Trump as a victim of “overzealous” prosecution and “Radical Left monsters.” This pardon reflects Trump’s ongoing support for his allies, following a trend of pardons for individuals connected to him, including those involved in the Capitol riots.
