The notorious “Tiger King,” Joe “Joe Exotic” Maldonado-Passage filed suit against the United States Department of Justice and, specifically, that department’s acting pardon attorney, over the Trump administration’s decision to reject his application for a full pardon.
Maldonado-Passage is currently serving a 22-year sentence for his role in a multi-state murder-for-hire plot against Florida animal rights activist Carole Baskin and, as The Daily Wire reported earlier this year, had hoped Donald Trump would issue him a pardon or commute his sentence before leaving office.
