President Donald Trump pardoned Scott Jenkins, a former sheriff in Culpeper, Virginia, who was convicted in December of bribery and fraud. Who is Jenkins, and what might have put him on Trump’s radar?

Those four figures and their pardons aren't the only evidence of a Justice Department de-emphasizing public corruption cases. In the early days of the administration, the Justice Department also dropped a campaign finance case against Republican former Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska, who had been set to go on trial next month.

Juries convicted Scott Jenkins of bribery and Paul Walczak of tax crimes. Trump claims they’re merely fellow victims of the “weaponized Biden DOJ.”

Former Culpeper County, Virginia, sheriff Scott Jenkins was expected in federal prison on Tuesday but will no longer head there, after a Memorial Day pardon by President Donald Trump. A jury convicted Jenkins in December in a yearslong bribes-for-badges scheme the News4 I-Team has covered extensively.
