President Trump announced he will grant a full pardon to Scott Jenkins, a former sheriff convicted of bribery and corruption, asserting that Jenkins is a victim of an 'overzealous Biden Department of Justice.' Jenkins had been sentenced to 10 years in prison after being found guilty of accepting bribes in exchange for appointing individuals to law enforcement positions without proper verification. Trump's statement on social media emphasizes his belief that Jenkins and his family were wronged, framing the situation as political persecution and calling for an end to Jenkins' unfair sentence.
Scott Jenkins, who served as sheriff of Culpeper County, Virginia, was sentenced to 10 years for public corruption but will now receive a full pardon from Trump.
Trump claimed that Jenkins was targeted by a 'Corrupt and Weaponized Biden DOJ' and labeled the conviction as an example of overreach.
