Joe ExoticJoe’s father died … and Joe’s loss is now matching a trip to DC for a pardon that would allow Joe to attend his father’s funeral.
We learned Joe’s father, Francis Schreibvogel, died recently due to complications from COVID … The funeral is scheduled for Saturday in Oklahoma, and Joe desperately wants to go.
TMZ has revealed the story … Joe’s legal team will be flying to Washington DC today to press for that forgiveness, but now there is an additional urgency as time is passing by for the funeral.
As we reported, Joe’s legal team, led by Eric Love, have chartered a jet with a Joe / ‘Tiger King’ package that they’re flying to DC … making it a show. Love told TMZ that he has a big date with someone related to the White House / forgiveness, but he did not say who.
What if Trump does not grant forgiveness, they have a plan B … go to a judge and ask for a day pass – essentially a temporary release – so that Joe can attend his father’s funeral.
As we reported earlier … the legal team of the ‘Tiger King’ star take the road to DC in May with a bus wrapped in an appeal to get Joe out of prison. They believe that forgiveness is at stake.
