Perdões de Trump minam o combate à corrupção pública

O presidente Trump perdoou pelo menos 15 ex-funcionários eleitos e co-conspiradores condenados por crimes de corrupção desde que retornou ao cargo. As medidas coincidem com cortes profundos na Seção de Integridade Pública do Departamento de Justiça.

O presidente Trump concedeu perdões totais a indivíduos como a ex-vereadora de Las Vegas, Michele Fiore, que foi condenada por desviar doações destinadas a um memorial policial. Ela foi perdoada semanas antes da sentença marcada para maio de 2025. Outros beneficiários incluem um xerife da Virgínia condenado por aceitar subornos e o ex-presidente da câmara estadual do Tennessee envolvido em um esquema de propina.
