Who is Scott Jenkins? What to know about the ex-sheriff Trump pardoned [View all]
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.
