As per [original article](https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/trump-is-spitting-in-the-face-of-law-enforcement-president-pardons-lady-trump-for-spending-slain-officer-charity-funds-on-rent-cosmetic-procedures-and-her-daughters-weddin/) 📰:
– President Donald Trump has granted a “full and unconditional pardon” to Michele Fiore, the former Las Vegas councilwoman also known as “Lady Trump,” who was convicted of “fleecing” the community out of about $70,000 in a scheme to defraud donors to a charity for a police officer who was killed in the line of duty, using the money she collected for plastic surgeries, rent, and her daughter’s wedding.
The pardon comes less than a week after U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer Dorsey rejected Fiore’s attempt to overturn her conviction and grant her a new trial. The clemency was issued less than a month after Trump appointed Sigal Chattah, one of Fiore’s close friends, as the interim U.S. Attorney for Nevada, The Nevada Independent reported.
Fiore, a former Republican gubernatorial candidate who was a justice of the peace when she was federally indicted on six counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, was convicted on all seven charges following an eight-day trial in October 2024.
Jurors found that when Fiore was still a member of the city council, she solicited donations to build a statue honoring Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer Alyn Beck, who was killed while on the job on June 18, 2014. Her solicitations allegedly included a promise that “100% of the contributions” would be put toward creating the statue.
While the statue does, in fact, stand in a flower bed near the entrance of Officer Alyn Beck Memorial Park in Las Vegas, it was raised without any financial assistance from Fiore. Instead, prosecutors said she converted all of the money she solicited from donors — more than $70,000 — to cash and money orders used “for her own personal benefit.”
“[T]he jury heard from a veritable who’s who of Nevada business and politics, who wrote checks to Fiore’s charitable organization or her political action committee in reliance on her promise that 100% of the donations would be used to fund the statue,” Dorsey wrote in the 77-page order denying Fiore a new trial. “But the evidence showed that a development company paid for the statue, and not a dime of the money that Fiore raised was used for that purpose. Instead, each check was quickly converted to cash and spent on Fiore’s personal expenses like rent, cosmetic procedures, and her daughter’s wedding.”
She was facing 20 years in prison on each charge and was scheduled to be sentenced next month.
But Fiore will now avoid prison as her attorney, Paola M. Armeni, filed a motion on Thursday to vacate her sentencing date “due to executive grant of clemency.”
A White House spokesperson told The Hill that Trump issued the pardon because Fiore was allegedly targeted for prosecution due to her “outspoken conservative views.”
“Michele Fiore, a former RNC Committeewoman and elected official from Nevada, made a name for herself through her outspoken and maverick personality,” the statement said. “A supporter of President Trump, she was also the first female Republican Majority Leader in the Nevada State Assembly.”
But many others criticized the pardon as nothing more than a favor for one of Trump’s political sycophants.
“Donald Trump is spitting in the face of law enforcement. Again,” Democratic U.S. Senator from Nevada Catherine Cortez Masto wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
State Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, a Democrat from Las Vegas, shared a similar sentiment.
“Michele Fiore abused her position to defraud Nevadans and our law enforcement community,” the lawmaker wrote. “Pardoning her solely as a reward for political loyalty is yet another embarrassing mockery of justice and the rule of law.”
Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford wrote: “Trump’s blatant disregard for law enforcement is sickening, and pardoning someone who stole from a police memorial fund is a disgrace.”
Devout Christians re-elected this man — it’s insane.
Amazing what lengths this guy will go for a chance to get laid
Honestly, it’s just breathtaking, this whole situation feels like such a betrayal of public trust, especially when you realize jurors found that Michele Fiore promised donors 100% of the contributions would go towards a statue honoring a fallen officer, but instead, she converted the money to cash and spent it on rent, cosmetic procedures, and her daughter’s wedding, it just feels unbelievably unfair, and I keep thinking, is this really the justice we expect, where those who exploit grief and steal from a memorial fund for a fallen officer are given a free pass?
Absolutely ridiculous! I assume that just because he was let off of his 34 counts of fraud and rape convictions he thought he would spread the good will around to another needy criminal.

Weird, I could swear Pam Bondi just said today that „no-one is above the law“??
Whenever possible, prosecute criminals under state laws from now on, not under federal law. Unless you know they’re Democrats, then it makes no difference.
Jokes on you. They’re into that shit.
Presented with any range of choices, this nazi regime will 100% of the time pick the worst possible one.
To anyone in law enforcement who is reading this: This is who Trump is with his mask off. You are nothing to him. You are the help. You are disposable to him. He pardoned thugs who assaulted police officers. Now he pardons this waste of air. Open your eyes.
This swamp donkey gets a pardon, actual judge gets arrested. Fucking fascists.
Can someone tell me why? Like what is in it for him?
The leader of the Law and Order party
IIRC trump pardoned a corrupt GOP congressman in his first term. Some California guy who got caught doing fraud and tried to blame it on his wife?
How can we explain that to our children????????………
And yet law-enforcement continues to vote for him -stunning
Just curious how long it will take for Americans to get in the streets and backing congress members who care vs everyone being mad behind a keyboard. We are all equally letting all of this happen
Hey law enforcement
This guy who most of you voted for fucking hates you and thinks your a joke albeit not as big of a joke as he thinks those in the military are
That’s not my opinion. Its a what he’s telling you with his actions
Deplorable
I bet there are cops who are pissed about this but still 100% support Trump. Morons.
Yeah but law enforcement voted for this.
That’s what felons do.
So much for backing the blue.
Any reason the state couldn’t charge her? A presidential pardon only covers federal crime, and IIRC, it’s not double jeopardy for a different jurisdiction to charge crimes for the same event.
What the hell
Blue lives matter huh? /s
Player recognizes Player.
watch him do the same for george santos who was guilty of fraud will be spending 7 years in jail and hes a republician
Federal laws just no longer apply thanks to the orange criminal.
This is utterly ridiculous. Unfortunately Biden gave them all the ammo they needed by pardoning Hunter. He got baited and chose to be loyal to his family. It sucks because Hunter was 100% a political target and so pardoning him was the right thing to do – except that it allows trump to pardon anyone he wants while saying „look what the Democrat did!“
The presidency has grown too strong. Can’t remove the power to pardon because of the constitution but other powers need to be returned to the other branches.
And yet this human shit-stain got nearly universal support from the police unions
Don’t forget her Christmas card from 2015, which included her then five year old grandson wielding a semi automatic pistol:

“Did you say she’s a blonde white woman? Big boobs? Innocent! Pardon her!”

I predict he will pardon George Santos next.
The most amazing part is the Democrats inability to message on everything he has done.
If you expected him to behave differently, than this, YOU’RE THE PROBLEM.
What a POS. And sweetie that elective surgery was a botched job. Idiots
Yet bleed blue will still support this clown
More importantly is that he’s pardoning her because he would have done the same thing
At least it’s a step up from [stealing money from kids with cancer](https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2017/06/06/how-donald-trump-shifted-kids-cancer-charity-money-into-his-business/#286c7576b4a3).
There is no longer law and order in America. It had been taken over by a tyrant.
I think what’s overlooked in the comments is that this pardon came shortly after Trump named her „friend“ as US Attorney for the area — so the chief US prosecutor.
Birds of a feather fly together. You can bet the new US Attorney has some questionable background being friends with this fraudster and appointed by one.
