Permalinkenforcement: President pardons
Lady Trump for spending slain officer
charity funds on rent, cosmetic
procedures, and her daughters wedding
Apr 25th, 2025
President Donald Trump has granted a
full and unconditional pardon to
Michele Fiore, the former Las Vegas
councilwoman also known as Lady Trump,
who was convicted of fleecing the
community out of about $70,000 in a
scheme to defraud donors to a charity
for a police officer who was killed in
the line of duty, using the money she
collected for plastic surgeries, rent,
and her daughters wedding.
The pardon comes less than a week
after U.S. District Court Judge
Jennifer Dorsey rejected Fiores
attempt to overturn her conviction
and grant her a new trial. The
clemency was issued less than a month
after Trump appointed Sigal Chattah,
one of Fiores close friends, as the
interim U.S. Attorney for Nevada,
The Nevada Independent reported.
Fiore, a former Republican
gubernatorial candidate who was a
justice of the peace when she was
federally indicted on six counts of
wire fraud and one count of
conspiracy to commit wire fraud,
was convicted on all seven charges
following an eight-day trial in
October 2024.
