Trump Pardons Ex-Cop in China Repression Case

Former President Donald Trump pardoned Michael McMahon, a former New York police sergeant, who was convicted for assisting China in an attempt to coerce a former official into returning to China. McMahon claimed he was unwittingly used and misled, believing he was working for a private investigation job. He was released from prison earlier this year and is now back home.
