President Donald Trump has pardoned a former Las Vegas City Council member and one-time Nevada gubernatorial candidate who was found guilty of fraud last year, the latest example of the president using his pardon power to reward allies. Michele Fiore " who has occasionally been dubbed "Lady Trump" " was convicted in October of using $70,000 she solicited to build a memorial for two fallen police officers on personal expenses, including political fundraising bills and rent payments. Last week, a judge dismissed her request for a new trial and scheduled her sentencing for May 14. Trump pardoned Fiore Wednesday, according to court documents filed Thursday by Fiore's attorneys.
