President Donald Trump pardoned Nevada Republican politician Michele Fiore who was convicted for fraud after prosecutors claimed she used money raised for a fallen police officer’s memorial for personal use.
An active and unapologetic Trump supporter, Fiore’s career included serving as a former Las Vegas city councilwoman and state lawmaker and rose through the Nevada Republican party despite a long history of controversial news coverage.
In 2014, she raised tens of thousands of dollars through a charity and political action committee for a statue honoring Metropolitan Police Department officer Alyn Beck, who was shot and killed in the line of duty.
