Trump Pardons Navy Fighter Ace

As one of his final acts Donald Trump has given Randall Duke Cunningham a conditional pardon. The pardon reads as follows: Randall Duke Cunningham President Trump granted a conditional pardon to Randall Duke Cunningham who was released from prison in 2013. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich strongly supports this pardon. Mr. Cunningham a former California Congressman was sentenced to over 8 years imprisonment for accepting bribes while he held public office. During his time in prison Mr. Cunningham tutored other inmates to help them achieve their GED. Mr. Cunningham is a combat veteran an ace fighter pilot and a member of the Military Order of Purple Hearts. Although combat-disabled he continues to serve his community by volunteering with a local fire department and is active in Bible Study. Duke Cunningham was a legend in the Navy fighter community during my years flying the F-14. His most famous quote was No points for second place. So all of us were heartbroken when he was convicted of accepting 2.3 million worth of bribes during his time as a congressman representing a district in Southern California. He served his full sentence but the shame of his actions will always overshadow his legacy even with this presidential pardon.,
