Joe Exotic says he’s been reassured his pardon request has finally made its way to President Trump — and the only thing left to do now is … wait, but Trump’s clearly in the pardoning mood.
The “Tiger King” filed new court docs Tuesday, dismissing his own complaint that he filed just last week … in which he asked the judge to force the White House Pardon Attorney to get his application in front of DT’s eyes for a final decision.
