Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has again asked President Donald Trump for help in reducing his prison sentence, this time in the form of a glowing letter, according to Deadline Detroit. The letter includes a two-page cover letter in which Kilpatrick praises Trump’s presidential win and achievements in office.

“I applaud your boldness and tenacity in confronting the traditional and sometimes deformed politics of our country,” Kilpatrick writes.

He goes on to glorify Trump for bucking the traditional political system and says he prays daily for Trump’s success. He also includes 20 pages detailing the reasons why he believes his sentence should be commuted.

Kilpatrick was sentenced to 28 years in prison after he was convicted in 2013 on several charges including racketeering, bribery and extortion. His earliest scheduled release date is in 2037. The 48-year-old Kilpatrick asked Trump for help last summer by seeking a pardon, but the president has not responded.

Kilpatrick’s request for a commuted sentence does not mean his crimes would be vacated if granted. Instead he could be released from prison but the conviction would remain on his record or Trump could elect to reduce the sentence.
