Elon Musk recently shared a video on X, formerly Twitter, from conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, who called on former President Donald Trump to pardon ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s federal conviction in the murder of George Floyd. Here's why it wouldn't get him out of prison.
There are calls to pardon Chauvin. Here’s why it wouldn’t get him out of prison
Trump can pardon Chauvin’s 20-year federal convictions for violating Floyd’s civil rights, but pardoning or commuting Chauvin’s 22 1/2 year state sentence is out of Trump’s jurisdiction.
