Joe Exotic fails to secure a Trump pardon

Newsweek

On President Trump's final morning in office, the White House released a list of 73 people receiving pardons. But the Tiger King star, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, was not on the list. Joe Exotic's attorneys submitted a 257-page formal application to the White House and were so confident that he would be pardoned that they had a stretch limo standing by on Tuesday along with a beauty crew. It's still not clear, though, if Trump will pardon any more people in the final hours of his presidency. ALSO: CNN's Jim Acosta reads a quote referring to Joe Exotic as a "dipsh*t" live on air.
