Cop killer granted clemency by Trump is convicted in Florida of attacking his wife
ORLANDO — A man whose life sentence in the 1990 killing of a police officer was commuted by former President Donald Trump was convicted of domestic battery in Orange County earlier this year — which could land him back in federal prison.
Davidson was released from prison Jan. 20, 2021 — the last day of Trump’s presidency — after his Trump-connected attorneys successfully lobbied the former president directly to commute his sentence.
The move followed two failed petitions for clemency in 2013 and 2017. Trump’s decision sparked outrage at the time, with prosecutor Jeff Duncan telling The New York Times he was not notified of the decision to commute Davidson’s sentence.
“If you ask me for a list of people who nobody should give a presidential commutation to Davidson would pretty much be at the top of the list,” Duncan told the newspaper in 2021.
@vivify saidAnother great trump decision.

He just keeps giving and giving.
God I hope he wins!
Pardoning a violent criminal on his last day (in the middle of an impeachment to ban him from holding office again) without even speaking to the prosecutor indicates Trump didn't research this killer. He was probably just given a list of names of people seeking pardons and granted them in his final hours as president.
But let's say Trump did research the killer: what about the master-mind of a murder did Trump see to grant him clemency? Of all the people he could've pardoned, what made Trump go "he's the one"?
Either Trump indiscriminately gave out pardons like Halloween candy or he purposely gave one to a drug-dealing cop killer.
