President Trump says former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio will be “just fine”.
He made the comments in front of thousands of supporters in Arizona on Tuesday night.
Once known as the ‘Toughest Sheriff in America’, Arpaio was recently convicted of criminal contempt. Reports suggested President Trump would pardon Arpaio during the Tuesday rally, but White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters it would not be addressed.
Now, the White House says the paperwork to provide a pardon for Arpaio is on the President’s desk and waiting for his signature.
