Who pardoned Arpaio of his criminal contempt of court?
Bill Clinton
Barack Obama
Donald Trump
George W. Bush
Answer
The pardon was granted by President Donald Trump in August 2017, just over two years after Arpaio was found guilty of criminal contempt of court for willfully disobeying a federal judge's order to stop detaining individuals solely on the suspicion that they were undocumented immigrants. Arpaio's conviction was seen as a significant victory for immigrant rights activists and a blow to the anti-immigrant policies of the Trump administration.
