Former Las Vegas City Councilwoman Michele Fiore, a Republican, was convicted of wire fraud for using funds intended for a memorial to a slain police officer to pay for personal expenses, including plastic surgery. Before her sentencing, President Donald Trump issued her a full and unconditional pardon. The decision has drawn criticism as another example of Trump's controversial use of presidential pardons, often benefiting political allies or those involved in scandals. Fiore's case highlights ongoing concerns about corruption and the abuse of charitable donations by public officials. The pardon has reignited debate over the ethical standards of presidential clemency.

I believe we should focus on our struggling country as of right now, so Americans being able to see the current actions of the president is extremely important.
