Ben Shapiro Urges Trump to Pardon Derek Chauvin for Federal Convictions

Conservative commentator launches petition claiming Chauvin's conviction in George Floyd's death was unjust and influenced by external pressures.

Ben Shapiro has initiated a campaign urging President Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin for his federal convictions related to George Floyd's death.
Shapiro argues that Chauvin's trial was unfairly influenced by political and media pressure, undermining impartial justice.
Chauvin is currently serving a 21-year sentence for federal civil rights violations, in addition to a 22.5-year state sentence for Floyd's death.
Shapiro claims Floyd's death was caused by pre-existing health conditions and drug use, disputing the narrative that Chauvin's actions were solely responsible.
Even if Trump grants a pardon for the federal charges, Chauvin would remain incarcerated due to his state convictions.
