Trump grants early release for ex-IBEW boss Johnny Doc
President Trump signed a commutation that will allow former IBEW Local 98 head John 'Johnny Doc' Dougherty to leave his six-year prison sentence early. Dougherty was convicted in 2021 of conspiracy and honest‑services wire fraud tied to bribery and embezzlement from the union, with prosecutors saying he used union funds to influence construction jobs alongside Philadelphia City Council member Bobby Henon. His attorney says release is imminent.
