Trump pardons Michael McMahon, who was convicted of assisting China’s Operation Fox Hunt

by

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump pardoned a former New York Police Department officer convicted in federal court of acting as an agent of China, though he had two GOP lawmakers in his corner, proclaiming his innocence.

A federal jury found Michael McMahon, a retired NYPD sergeant turned private investigator, guilty of acting as a foreign agent and interstate stalking after a two-week trial in June 2023. The jury acquitted him on a count of conspiracy to act as a foreign agent.

According to prosecutors, McMahon was “a critical member” of a Chinese campaign to intimidate dissident Xu Jin, a former Wuhan city official, and his family, with the end goal of pressuring Xu into returning to China.
