Donald Trump Executioners May Have Misled Courts, Sparking Calls for Investigation On 2/23/21 at 4:22 AM EST Conflicting accounts of the federal executions that took place in the final months of Donald Trump's presidency have prompted calls for an investigation into whether executioners deliberately misled the courts. According to the Associated Press, executioners likened the deaths by lethal injection to falling asleep—in sworn accounts they called gurneys "beds" and referred to final breaths as "snores." The "sanitized" accounts of the executions at the U.S Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, differed drastically from the reports provided by AP and other eyewitnesses, who described how the stomachs of inmates "rolled, shook and shuddered" as the pentobarbital injections took effect, according to AP.
