President Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity Thursday night that he is reviewing the case of an imprisoned Navy sailor who took photos inside a submarine.
(FOX)- “I’m actually looking at it right now,” said Trump, who as a candidate often cited his case as unjust. “I think it’s very unfair in light of what’s happened with other people.”
Trump has often compared the issue with Kristain Saucier, the sailor, with Hillary Clinton’s email scandal.
“They took the kid who wanted some pictures of the submarine,” Trump said in a campaign stop, according to The Washington Post. “That’s an old submarine; they’ve got plenty of pictures, If the enemy wants them, they’ve got plenty of them.”
Supporters of Saucier, 30, said the one-year sentence was overly harsh.
Saucier’s attorney, Ronald Daigle, told Fox News that he met with Trump’s national security adviser, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, about Saucier’s case, and at Flynn’s request, submitted a formal pardon request.
