-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump has pardoned a Republican former Las Vegas city
councilwoman and state lawmaker from Nevada who was convicted in October
of embezzling funds. Michele Fiore was found guilty of six counts of
federal wire fraud and one count of conspiracy for raising over $70,000
for the statue of a slain Las Vegas police officer and instead using the
money to pay for rent, plastic surgery and her daughter's wedding.
