“Lady Trump” — a failed gubernatorial candidate convicted of fraud — received a pardon courtesy of the MAGA leader.
Michele Fiore, a former Las Vegas City Councilwoman and state lawmaker in Nevada, was convicted of multiple federal crimes for misusing charitable donations. She was found guilty of six counts of wire fraud and a count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Fiore solicited donations ostensibly for building a statue honoring a Las Vegas police officer killed in the line of duty. Federal prosecutors said that beginning in 2019, while serving as a councilwoman, she spent tens of thousands of dollars raised for the memorial on herself, including rent, cosmetic surgery, and her daughter’s wedding.

Fiore has maintained her innocence and slammed the prosecution as politically motivated.
A judge last week dismissed her request for a new trial and scheduled her sentencing for May 14. But then President Donald Trump stepped in, Politico reported Thursday.
Court documents filed by Fiore’s attorneys showed he pardoned her Wednesday.
