President Trump is not familiar with Tiger King, but on Wednesday, he promised to "take a look" at pardoning its main character, Joe Exotic.Exotic, a former private zoo owner, is serving a 22-year
prison sentence after being found guilty last year of hiring a hit man to kill animal rights activist Carole Baskin (the hit didn't happen, and Baskin is still alive). In a recent radio interview, Trump's eldest son,
Donald Trump Jr., joked he was going to tell his dad that Exotic deserved to be pardoned, and a
New York Post reporter thought Wednesday's coronavirus briefing would be a great time to bring this up."I know nothing about it," Trump said of the hit
Netflix docu-series, before asking various people around the room if they would advocate a pardon for Exotic. "I'll take a look."
