Yes, Sailor: The President Never Forgot You!
President Trump issued a pardon today to former Navy sailor Kristian Saucier.
In 2016, Saucier was sentenced to a year in prison during the presidential campaign for taking pictures inside a nuclear submarine.
Saucier learned the news of his pardon while driving a garbage truck, reportedly the only job he could find while burdened with a felony conviction.
Trump frequently mentioned the sailor's case on the campaign trail, comparing him to Hillary Clinton and saying Saucier was “ruined” for doing “nothing” while Clinton went free.
Saucier and his wife were said to be ecstatic when they heard the news of the pardon earlier today.
