OKLAHOMA CITY - Attorney General Mike Hunter today released the following statement, praising President Donald Trump after granting a full pardon for former U.S. Army 1st Lt. Michael Behenna.
The president’s pardon comes weeks after the attorney general renewed his 2018 call for Behenna’s pardon by sending letters to President Trump and Attorney General William Barr, where Attorney General Hunter argued the U.S. Department of Justice regulations interfered with the president’s pardon powers.
