Trump Grants Pardons to DC Officers Convicted in Fatal Chase

In a series of controversial decisions, President Trump has granted full pardons to multiple D.C. police officers who were convicted in a fatal pursuit case resulting in the death of a young Black man. Among those pardoned are officers Andrew Zabavsky and Sutton, who faced conviction for their roles in the 2020 incident involving Karon Hylton-Brown. The pardons have sparked debate and outrage, with critics highlighting concerns over accountability for law enforcement actions, particularly in cases involving fatalities. Trump has expressed support for the officers, citing what he describes as a miscarriage of justice in their convictions.
