Imprisoned Tiger King star Joe Exotic is said to be hopeful that Joe Biden will pardon him.

Days after the inauguration of President Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris, it’s been reported that the eccentric tiger trader is already in the process of contacting the pair about his sentence.

It was revealed last week that Exotic’s team were so confident he would receive a presidential pardon that they had parked a limousine near his prison to escort him home.

However, Exotic’s name was absent from Donald Trump’s list of pardons.

Exotic is currently serving a 22-year sentence in Fort Worth, Texas, after being convicted in 2019 of trying to hire a hitman to kill his zookeeper rival Carole Baskin, as well as numerous animal abuse charges.

In unverified emails obtained by TMZ, Exotic reportedly describes himself as a fan of Harris, who he thinks will “help clean up the corruption in the Department of Justice and other agencies”.

Responding to Trump’s failure to pardon him, Exotic adds: “I was too innocent and too GAY to deserve a Pardon from Trump.

“I only mattered to Don Jr when he needed to make a comment about me to boost his social media post. Boy were we all stupid to believe he actually stood for Equal Justice? His corrupt friends all come first.”
