President Trump pardons former Connecticut Gov. John G. Rowland – 'wonderful final resolution'
Published in News & Features
HARTFORD, Conn. — Twice-convicted Republican Gov. John G. Rowland has been pardoned by President Donald Trump, according to multiple media reports.
Rowland’s possible pardon had been rumored in political circles recently, but it did not become official until Wednesday. CNN, The Hill and other outlets reported the pardon online.
In an email to The Hartford Courant, Rowland wrote : “I am deeply humbled and appreciative. I have been blessed with a wonderful family and friends that have been through a great deal over the years. This is a wonderful final resolution.”
Word spread quickly late Wednesday afternoon at the state Capitol in Hartford, where longtime Rowland loyalists and members of his administration have since become lobbyists. Various officials declined to comment.
