Trump critic 'stunned' by pardon from president: 'Didn't know it was coming'

A disgraced Democratic politician says he was as surprised as anyone by his recent pardon by president Donald Trump.

P.G. Sittenfeld, a former Cincinnati city councilman who served four-and-a-half months in federal prison on federal corruption charges, sent a Fathers Day letter to friends and family to explain how he got a reprieve from the president he had criticized throughout his political career, reported the Business Courier.

“I did not know this pardon was coming. And when I first heard the news, I was as stunned as I suspect you were,” Sittenfeld wrote in a letter obtained by the publication. “Our family is overjoyed, deeply relieved and profoundly grateful that my freedom is secure and that we are and will remain together.”
