DETROIT (WXYZ) â Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is not among the group of people recently pardoned by President Donald Trump for various federal crimes.
The president issued pardons Tuesday to a number of his supporters, most notably former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and Representatives Chris Collins and Duncan Hunter.
Back in November, Ayanna Kilpatrick, sister of the former mayor, claimed her brother would get an early COVID-19 compassionate release from federal prison.
Due to suffering severe health challenges we expect Kwame Kilpatrick to receive a grant for COVID-19 compassionate release from the FBOP this week. We are extremely grateful to God and we thank each and every one who has kept him and his family lifted in prayer.
