'Fetterman Writes Letter Asking Israel's President to Pardon Netanyahu' [View all]

"Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) prepared a letter in recent days asking Israel’s president for a favor."

"In a previously unreported letter obtained by TPM, Fetterman asked Israel’s President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."

“ 'In a world this dangerous, I question whether any democracy can afford to have its head of government spending valuable hours, day after day, in a courtroom rather than the situation room,' Fetterman wrote in a copy of the letter, dated Dec. 2, obtained by TPM."

"Netanyahu formally asked Herzog for a pardon late last month."
