President Trump has used his pardon power to forgive one of his most loyal political allies, former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio. On Monday, Trump told reporters, "I stand by my pardon of Sheriff Joe."
After a none-too-restful "working vacation," President Trump is back in the White House today. He's planning a prime-time address to the country on his latest strategy for the war in Afghanistan.
The misdemeanor charge against Arpaio, 84, was formally lodged Tuesday. The sheriff for much of the Phoenix metro area could face up to six months behind bars if convicted.
