President Donald Trump is making headlines again with his bold move to pardon former Virginia sheriff Scott Jenkins, who was convicted of bribery.
See the tweet below!
This controversial decision underscores Trump’s ongoing battle against what he called a “Corrupt and Weaponized” Biden DOJ.
Trump announced the unconditional pardon of Scott Jenkins, who was sentenced to a decade in federal prison for accepting more than $70,000 in bribes.
The discredited charges claimed Jenkins appointed local businessmen as auxiliary deputy sheriffs in exchange for cash and campaign contributions.
Jenkins’ conviction by the Biden DOJ reflects another example of what many see as government overreach, overzealous prosecutions, and political persecution.
Trump condemned the entire process, accusing the DOJ of being corrupt and weaponized by the Radical Left.
A federal judge was accused of undermining fair proceedings by blocking the entry of exculpatory evidence during the trial, NBC Washington reports.
Jenkins maintained his innocence from the outset, claiming he was targeted due to his strong support for the Second Amendment.
Evidence admitted during the trial showed Jenkins accepting cash and checks for appointing unqualified individuals as auxiliary deputies.
Yet many argue this conviction paints a distorted picture emerging from a biased, politically-driven prosecution.
“This Sheriff is a victim of an overzealous Biden Department of Justice, and doesn’t deserve to spend a single day in jail. He is a wonderful person, who was persecuted by the Radical Left “monsters,” and “left for dead.” This is why I, as President of the United States, see fit to end his unfair sentence, and grant Sheriff Jenkins a FULL and Unconditional Pardon. He will NOT be going to jail tomorrow, but instead will have a wonderful and productive life,” President Trump declared.
The US Attorney’s Office had previously condemned Jenkins for selling public office for personal gain, stating he “sold public office for personal gain and put unqualified individuals into positions of power.”
However, Trump’s decisive pardon ensures Jenkins will not serve his sentence, providing him an opportunity to rebuild his life outside prison.
The battle against tyrannical governance and unjust legal processes continues, and Trump’s pardon of Jenkins adds fuel to the fire.
Supporters argue that this move shines a light on the politically motivated actions of a “weaponized” DOJ running amok.
While the former sheriff looks toward a future free from the heavy hand of the justice system, the conversation about bias, fairness, and justice remains far from over.
