Mike Tyson, Gov. Christie Share Awkward Exchange at NJ Re-Entry Conference

At a prisoner re-entry conference in Jersey City on Thursday, boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson jokingly asked Gov. Christie to talk to President Trump about pardoning him. It appears Tyson was referring to an audio recording from 1992 in which Trump said Tyson, who had been convicted of rape, shouldn’t get jail time. The exchange between Christie and Tyson was pretty awkward. At the conference, the boxer gave the governor a champion’s belt for his work on prisoner re-entry.
