Trump has pardoned two D.C. police officers who were convicted after one chased a man riding a moped, which ultimately led to his death, and the other helped cover it up.
In an executive order on Wednesday, Trump granted a full and unconditional pardon to Lt. Andrew Zabavsky and officer Terence Sutton.
In October of 2020, Sutton pursued 20-year-old Karon Hylton-Brown, who was violating traffic laws by riding a rental scooter without a helmet and on a sidewalk. According to the Justice Department, Sutton followed Hylton-Brown down a narrow alleyway without his lights or siren on and purposefully sped up behind him.
Hylton-Brown was struck by another uninvolved car as he drove out of the alley. He died in a local hospital two days later.
