PRESIDENT Donald Trump has announced that he will “take a look” at Tiger King Joe Exotic’s murder-for-suicide conviction.
The president was asked his opinion on the popular television show during his press conference on Wednesday.
When asked about the felon’s conviction, Trump said: “I know nothing about it… he has 22 for what?
“What did he do?”
The president then turned the question on the reporter, asking: “You think he didn’t do it?
“Are you on his side? Are you recommending a pardon?”
The Netflix star is serving a 22-year jail sentence after being found guilty of paying a hitman to kill animal activist Carole Baskin, and of killing tigers to make room for more exotic cats in his animal park.
The King recently said he is “thrilled” by the public’s reaction to his Netflix series and wants to become a “criminal justice reformer.”
Exotic has reportedly filed a $94 million federal lawsuit against the government for alleged civil rights violations.
