Former state Sen. Brian Kelsey said he believed "God used Donald Trump to save me."
President Donald Trump has pardoned Brian Kelsey, a former Tennessee lawmaker who pleaded guilty to a campaign finance scheme in 2022, after the Republican served just two weeks of his 21-month prison sentence.
Kelsey said on social media after his release Tuesday that he believed “God used Donald Trump to save me from the weaponized Biden DOJ.”
“May God bless America, despite the prosecutorial sins it committed against me, President Trump, and others the past four years,” he added. “And God bless Donald J. Trump for Making America Great Again!”
Kelsey pleaded guilty in November 2022 to illegally transferring money from his state Senate campaign committee to a national organization that supported his failed 2016 bid for U.S. Congress, including filing false campaign finance reports to conceal the transfer.
