Trump Pardons Nevada Politician Who Misused Police Memorial Funds for Plastic Surgery
President Trump pardoned Michele Fiore, a Nevada Republican politician convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy for misusing funds intended for a police officer’s statue. Fiore, a former councilwoman and state lawmaker, was found guilty of diverting over $70,000 to personal expenses, including plastic surgery. Despite facing decades in prison, the pardon came after she lost a bid for a new trial and shortly after her appointment as a Nye County judge. The pardon has drawn criticism from Nevada Democrats.
