Arpaio fails to undo prosecutor’s appointment in pardon case

PHOENIX (AP) — Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio has lost his bid to reverse the appointment of a special prosecutor who is defending a ruling that refused to erase Arpaio’s record after President Donald Trump pardoned his criminal contempt of court conviction.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined Arpaio’s request to review the issue.
The prosecutor’s appointment came after the U.S. Justice Department refused to defend a ruling from a judge who dismissed Arpaio’s case
