Who is Joe Exotic and what did he do? Tiger King expected to be pardoned
President Donald Trump is expected to pardon around 100 people before he leaves office. Amid this, there are rumors that Joe Exotic would be pardoned.
But who is Joe Exotic, and what did Joe Exotic do?
Joe Exotic became a widely known name, all thanks to Netflix’s ‘Tiger King.’ His legal team is confirmed he would be one of the people that Trump pardons. However, there has been no confirmation made. To add to this, his legal team has already prepared a limo for him to leave.
Joe Exotic was not among the more than 100 pardons and commutations President Trump issued early Wednesday.
Private investigator Eric Love, who is part of Exotic s legal team, said Tuesday evening he was confident the Tiger King star would be receiving a pardon before the president s term ends Wednesday. We will be standing by waiting for President Trump’s confirmation of the Tiger King Joe Exotic, Love said from inside a limousine waiting to pick Exotic up from a Texas prison if he was pardoned and released, KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City reported. Much love to the fans. Thank you so much for all the support. God bless. We’ll see you as soon as we get the pardon.
Although former President Donald Trump issued more than 73 pardons and 70 commutations before his departure from the White House on Wednesday, some popular names were not included on the list.
