It was on August 25, 2017 when President Donald Trump released his statement on Twitter on the eve of Hurricane Harvey. President Trump said, “I am pleased to inform you that I have just granted a full Pardon to 85 year old American patriot Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He kept Arizona safe!” His idea of granting pardon to Joe Arpaio was unclear days before he made the decision as he was quoted saying, “I won’t do it tonight because I don’t want to cause any controversy xxx I’ll make a prediction: I think he’s going to be just fine.” The White House stated that the President’s reason for granting pardon to Joe Arpaio was because of his “years of admirable service to our nation.”
