U.S. President Donald Trump pardated Scott Jenkins, the former sheriff of Culpeper County in Virginia, who was sentenced to ten years in prison for receiving bribes in the amount of more than $ 75,000.
Jenkins enabled civilians to become auxiliary sheriff without training, in exchange for money and donations for the campaign.
Trump, who called Jenkins “by the victim of the Biden’s Ministry of Justice,” intervened immediately before Jenkins had to report to support the penalty.
The jury declared him guilty of 12 counts of the indictment, including the conspiracy, fraud and bribes.
With this pardon, Jenkins avoids the prison sentence and returns to his right to vote and candidacy.
He is one of the many Trump supporters who former president pardoned, including the people of the accused in the riots in the Capitol 2021. years.
