0:38Now PlayingPresident Trump says he's pardoning a former Virginia sheriff who was convicted of federal bribery charges.
Scott Jenkins was convicted of accepting more than $70,000 from local businessmen in exchange for positions within his department. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and was set to report to jail Tuesday.
Trump said on Truth Social he was unjustly treated, writing, "This sheriff is a victim of an overzealous Biden Department of Justice and doesn't deserve to spend a single day in jail."
