Trump’s Pardon Sparks Political Reactions
On Wednesday, former President Trump stepped in, granting clemency to Fiore and sparking immediate controversy.
“Today, I stand before you, not just as a free woman, but as a vindicated soul whose prayers were heard, whose faith held firm, and whose truth could not be buried by injustice,” Fiore said.
“I am deeply and eternally grateful to President Donald J. Trump for granting me a full and unconditional pardon. This act of mercy is not just a correction of a legal record — it is the restoration of a life, a reputation, and a mission long targeted for destruction.”
Her legal team filed a motion Thursday to vacate her sentencing, submitting the pardon signed by Trump. Full text of Trump’s recent pardons can be found on the official Donald J. Trump website.
Nevada Democrats expressed outrage over this pardon.
“This is reckless and a slap in the face to the law enforcement community,” said Hilary Barrett, Executive Director of the Nevada Democratic Party, in a statement to the Associated Press.
