Joe Exotic Wants A Pardon From Donald Trump
Tiger King star Joe Exotic has written a letter to President-elect Donald Trump, begging for his early release from prison.
In the letter obtained by RadarOnline, 61-year-old, Joe Maldonado-Passage, asks to be released from the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas.
“A lot of people went to bat for you in 2021 who have been living in hell ever since then,” wrote Exotic, who is serving 21 years in prison for his murder-for-hire case against rival Carole Baskin. “Everyone hopes you keep the promises you made during your campaign, which include pardoning everyone sooner than later in January 2025.”
“Some, like myself, have fought like hell to hang on, hoping for you to win this election,” he continued, noting he had been “scared as hell” of Vice President Kamala Harris potentially winning.
He also took to X on Tuesday, November 12, to share an article from The Daily Beast about possible Trump pardons. See below:
Joe Exotic was arrested in 2019.
He was convicted of:
- Two counts of murder for hire
- Nine counts of violating the Endangered Species Act
- Nine counts for violations of the Lacey Act
- A law that prohibits the illegal trafficking of wildlife, fish, and plants
He is set to be released in 2036.
Exotic, however, is hoping to be released in 2025, as his legal team has filed an appeal for a retrial based on alleged newly discovered evidence.
Joe Exotic also asked in his letter to be a part of Trump’s cabinet as the new Federal Fish and Wildlife Director.
“It is time to bring some honesty to this department because the former director, Dan Ash, only looked out for himself and his position within the Association of Zoos and Aquariums,” Exotic wrote, adding, “He used his federal position to put me out of business and in prison to benefit his non-profit, the AZA.”
With all this news also comes some other finding on Joe Exotic like that he is now engaged.
