Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh among those seeking clemency from President Trump

Convicted former Baltimore Mayor Catherine E. Pugh is among those seeking clemency from President Donald Trump as he reportedly prepares to issue 100 pardons and sentence commutations on his final full day in office Tuesday.

Pugh, 70, is seeking to have her three-year sentence commuted, according to a database of clemency appeals on the U.S. Department of Justice website. Her case’s status is listed as “pending.”

Her attorney, Steve Silverman, declined to comment Monday.

CNN reported that the White House held a meeting Sunday to finalize a list of pardons and commutations, which the outlet said was expected to include “a mix of criminal justice reform-minded pardons and more controversial ones secured or doled out to political allies.”

A pardon allows someone to wipe their record clean; a commutation is when a sentence is cut short.

Pugh is a Democrat who held elected positions at the city and state level for two decades. Elected Baltimore mayor in 2016, she pleaded guilty three years later to a fraud scheme involving her self-published “Healthy Holly” children’s book series.

She failed to print thousands of copies, double-sold thousands more and took many others to use for self-promotion, according to federal prosecutors. Investigators also uncovered that she laundered illegal campaign contributions and failed to pay taxes.

Pugh’s political fall began when The Baltimore Sun revealed she had entered into a no-bid deal with the University of Maryland Medical System, where Pugh sat on the board of directors, to buy 100,000 copies of her sloppily published “Healthy Holly” books for $500,000.

She later resigned from the medical system board and as mayor amid several investigations into her finances and the book sales. In total, she netted more than $850,000, prosecutors say.

Pugh reported to prison in Alabama in late June to begin serving her sentence. If her clemency appeal is denied, she has other options for leaving prison before serving her full term, such as the First Step Act, which seeks to reduce the federal prison population.

Convicted state Del. Cheryl Glenn of Baltimore was recently allowed to serve out the rest of her sentence on home confinement, after serving about four months of a two-year federal sentence for taking bribes.
