BALTIMORE (AP) 鈥� A former Baltimore mayor serving a three-year prison sentence stemming from a public corruption scandal is among the people hoping for clemency from President Donald Trump before he leaves office.
Seventy-year-old Catherine Pugh is seeking commutation of the prison sentence she began serving in June.
Pugh is a Democrat who served in the state Senate before being elected mayor in 2016. She resigned under pressure in May 2019 as authorities investigated bulk sales of her 鈥淗ealthy Holly鈥� children鈥檚 books.
Pugh pleaded guilty later that year to federal conspiracy and tax evasion charges.
