Joe Exotic of Tiger King’s team have travelled to Washington to ask Trump for a pardon

Tiger King star Joe Exotic’s legal team have once again headed to Washington D.C. in an attempt to get an official pardon for the incarcerated king of the cats.

This marks the second attempt the team has made to attempt to convince trump to let Exotic go. The legal team previously drove from Texas to DC in a tour bus emblazoned with “Team Trump” and “Pardon Joe Exotic”.

Exotic is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence after he was found guilty of paying a hitman to kill animal activist Carole Baskin and 17 federal charges of animal abuse.

As TMZ report, this latest attempt at freeing Exotic will see the legal team hand-deliver a copy of the official pardon request to a contact at the White House.

In adjacent news, Joe Exotic recently launched a new underwear line in collaboration with streetwear brand Odaingerous.

The ‘Revenge’ line boasts a bunch of totally ostentatious, gaudy underwear. Including the garish ‘Financially Recover Cheetah Boxer Brief’. A brief emblazoned with a portrait of Joe Exotic placed smack bang in the middle of the crotch region.

If you’re feeling a little daring but not bold enough to wear an attempted-murderer over your junk, the ‘Revenge’ line also features a delicious range of colour combinations and patterns for your unmentionables.

In other news, Carol Baskin recently made headlines after it was revealed that her missing ex-husband’s family are planning to sue her for information relating to his disappearance.

Baskin and Don Lewis were married but he had filed a restraining order against her. He then disappeared a day before a scheduled trip to Costa Rica in 1997 and was declared legally dead in 2002.
