Trump commutes Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover’s sentence – FOX News

Hoover, the co-founder of the Gangster Disciples, was originally imprisoned for a 1973 murder and later convicted in 1998 for operating a criminal enterprise. At the time of his 1998 conviction, Hoover was serving a 200-year sentence for the killing of drug dealer William "Pooky" Young. During a 2018 meeting with Trump, Kanye "Ye" West campaigned for Hoover's freedom.
