“Sheriff Scott Jenkins, his wife Patricia, and their family have been dragged through HELL,“ Trump posted online, issuing a full and unconditional pardon. “He will NOT be going to jail tomorrow, but instead will have a wonderful and productive life.”
In March, Jenkins was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.
“The bribe payors were not trained or vetted and did not render any legitimate services to the Sheriff's Office,“ the Justice Department said at the time.
“I believe if he heard the information, I know he would help if he knew my story,“ Jenkins said, referencing Trump.
The top Justice Department official who announced Jenkins' conviction last year did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
This latest pardon follows Trump's January pardon of almost everyone criminally charged with participating in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, a February pardon of the former Democratic governor of Illinois who was convicted for trying to sell former President Barack Obama's vacated U.S. Senate seat, and others.
