Convicted former Mass. state senator asks Trump for pardon
Briefly

Former Massachusetts state Sen. Dean Tran, having been convicted of fraud for collecting over $30,000 in unemployment benefits while employed, is seeking a presidential pardon from Donald Trump.
Tran stated on Facebook that a 'full investigation into Senator Tran's cases and an unconditional pardon is warranted,' suggesting he believes his prosecution was politically motivated.
Collecting fraudulent pandemic unemployment assistance while concealing income and other earnings, Tran's case has raised questions about selective enforcement against Republicans in heavy Democratic regions.
Citing President Biden's recent pardon of his son Hunter, Tran contends he was targeted due to his political affiliation and calls attention to the double standards in pardon cases.
