[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump granted another pardon Monday for a former official he claimed was the victim of a “weaponized” Department of Justice (DOJ) during the Biden administration, granting clemency to former Sheriff Scott Jenkins.

Jenkins served as the sheriff of Culpeper County in Northern Virginia for a decade but lost his reelection bid in 2023 amid the charges he was facing and eventually was convicted for bribery. He was about to report to prison for a 10-year sentence before being pardoned.

Here’s what to know about Jenkins:

Long-standing career derailed by bribery allegations

Jenkins served as the county sheriff for 12 years, first being elected in 2011 and winning reelection twice, running as both a Republican and independent.

Obviously more than allegations. He's a man after Trump's own heart.

3. Jenkins accepted bribes in the form of cash or campaign contributions from two undercover FBI agents.

It wasn't "weaponization" of the DOJ, it was a classic sting operation by the feds. Lots of Republicans and Democrats have been targeted by these FBI operations.
