A Nevada politician was convicted of using funds meant to honor a slain officer on plastic surgery. Trump just pardoned her

President Trump has pardoned a Las Vegas politician convicted last year of using money meant for a statue honoring a slain police officer on personal costs, including plastic surgery.

Michele Fiore, a former city councilwoman and Nevada state lawmaker, was found guilty in October of six counts of federal wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She was out of custody ahead of a sentencing scheduled for next month.

Fiore's lawyers filed a motion on Thursday to vacate her sentencing date, attaching a "full and unconditional pardon" signed by Mr. Trump a day earlier.
