Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Former Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio received a pardon from President Donald Trump, but the judge who found him guilty of criminal contempt has refused to wipe evidence of his conviction off the record.
The presidential pardon assures that Arpaio is protected from prosecution, but his attorneys and the Justice Department had asked Judge Susan Ritchie Bolton to have her rulings vacated from the court.
