Navy sailor Kristian Saucier is serving time in prison for taking pictures inside the USS Alexandria. President Donald Trump is looking into the case, fellow sailors hope for pardon.
Talks are heating up in expectation that President Donald Trump will possibly pardon a former Navy sailor in prison for taking photos of sensitive areas inside a nuclear submarine. The case caused widespread controversy because it broke in 2015 during the Hillary Clinton email investigation scandal. Many could not believe that a Navy sailor was sentenced but Clinton did not even face charges.
The Daily Caller reports that Trump recently mentioned that he’s looking into the details behind the Kristian Saucier case. Saucier, was convicted in 2015 of retaining national defense information without authorization, which took the form of photos of classified areas of the nuclear attack submarine the USS Alexandria.
