FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Letter to President Donald Trump from Joe Exotic
President Trump,
I am writing this letter to you to try and understand how the Department of Justice in the greatest country in the world could be so blind to the injustice in my case?
Every government witness that testified against me has gotten on world television and not only admitted to perjury but showed the world how they had intended on killing me if putting me in prison if taking life and property away didn't work.
I have been trying now for 8 years to get a new trial with the evidence we now have that proves that the federal agents involved in my case knew that not only their witnesses were lying, but the agents even helped orchestrate the crime I was convicted of and they helped manufacture evidence.
All four of the main government witnesses have turned over their cell phones to my legal team with over 700 recordings, videos and text messages where they recorded the federal sgents helping create this crime.
I was arrested, held without bond and kept in solitary confinement so I could not help gather evidence, lay out my defense or even work to hire my own attorneys.
Now all of my appeals have been denied because the public defenders I was forced to use did not do their job by bringing up enough objections and cross examinations during my trial.
The Constitution of the United States says you have the right to not have excessive bail and you have the right to a fair trial.
In my case not only was I denied bail, but the minute I asked for a fair trial I was punished by being charged with 22 more charges, just for wanting a trial.
I only started out with one charge that I could have beat if I would have been given bond and had the chance to hire my own lawyers and help in my defense.
I think the most disturbing part is the federal agents and the U.S. Attorneys in Oklahoma City covered up crimes for their witnesses such as rape, bank fraud, identity theft, and sex trafficking just to create a crime against me because of what or why? I had the largest private zoo in America? I ran for office and had an opinion? Or was it because I am gay?
People all over America tell me you won't help correct this injustice for me because I am gay. You know I didn't ask for this kind of life.
God knows it's been a hell of a road, but I have made the best of it.
I served my country as the youngest police chief in Texas history. I was a fire fighter in Centennial Wyoming at 13 years of age, I was an EMT for 30 years, I built my own pet store and private zoo. And I worked to have the American dream which was to own my own home and business which I did- without having as much as a speeding ticket on my record at the age of 55.
I find it very hard to believe, in fact I refuse to believe you won't help me because I am gay. I have supported you from day one in 2016 and will continue to support you no matter what.
What they did to you with 94 indictment's is exactly the same thing they did to me and so many other Americans that slip through the cracks of the American justice system because our voices are not as heard as loud as yours is.
Diddy just got sentenced to 4 years for sex crimes. A preacher in Texas just got sentenced to 6 months for 5 charges of lude sex acts with a minor, and one of the inmates in here got sentenced to 20 years for stabbing his own mother to death, dragging her body into the woods and setting fire to her body.
President Trump, I am serving 21 years because my vet and USDA inspector told me to euthanize 5 old, crippled tigers and two bogus murder for hire charges which everyone has admitted on world television they made it up and lied under Oath at my trial.
The biggest problem was Netflix was making a film during my arrest and my trial and sentencing, which they paid every government witness cash (we have that on video as well) to keep the narrative going for their show Tiger King which I didn't even film for as I was in custody two years before it was filmed.
This was nothing more than 4 felons and a TV producer for Netflix that got wrapped up in fame and money to destroy my life. I am so glad Elon Musk is calling for a boycott because they made millions by putting me here.
Since this happened, both of my parents have died. Everything they owned was taken by the very people that did this not only to me but also to my parents.
I have lost 8 years of my life and lived am living with cancer, coronary artery disease, a very rare immune disease, and tumors in my left lung. I would hope and pray that you of all people would think that I have lost more than enough for something that everyone admitted to being a lie on world television.
I have programed while in prison, I have never disrespected the staff and my earliest date back to freedom is 2030.
Mr. President, I am asking you to just have someone watch season 2 of Tiger King where the Department of Justice very own witnesses all got on TV and admitted to making this up and the governments hit man even admitted and showed the world how they had planned to kill me.
All of the evidence is located at JoeExoticOfficial.com
Please have someone take a look at the hard evidence we have proving I am innocent. Sit aside the fact the public defenders didn't do their job and I can't win an appeal due to that fact.
Just look at the evidence at hand please.
I love my country, and I ask you for a second chance to prove to you that I can use the platform I have to bring so much good charity work to sick and dying children like I used to do and the many other charities I took part in.
People such as Rep. Bobert, Rep Burlison former Congressman Gaetz, Joe Rogan and many more would like to see me free.
I have a clemency application on file in Ed Martins office; I just need you to take 2 minutes of your busy day and put that amazing signature on it so I can put this behind me and go find where they buried my parents.
Respectfully,
