The 'very, very important' person Trump pardoned Tuesday was Susan B. Anthony, not Joe Exotic.
US President Donald Trump speaks next to First Lady Melania Trump before they take part in the signing of a proclamation on the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment during an event in the Blue Room of the White House in Washington, DC on August 18, 2020. - The 19th Amendment was created giving women in the United States the constitutional right to vote.
But the"very, very important" person Trump pardoned was suffragist Susan B. Anthony, marking 100 years since the ratification of the 19th Amendment. The women's rights and voting rights advocate was arrested in 1872 for illegally voting before the passage of the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote. She died in 1906."She was never pardoned," Trump told reporters during a ceremony at the White House."She deserves it."
Late Monday evening, Trump told reporters he would be granting a pardon to someone, but that it would not be former national security adviser Michael Flynn or whistleblower Edward Snowden.
