UPDATE, 11 AM, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 2025: Towards the end of this post, I asked questions about the process of Michele Fiore’s presidential pardon by Donald Trump before she was even sentenced for her conviction. According to a published report this morning in the Las Vegas Review Journal, the RJ wrote: “Interim Nevada U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah, who accompanied Fiore to court during her criminal case, said she was not involved in getting Fiore a pardon. ‘We haven’t talked in a while,’ she said. Asked why, Chattah replied: ‘It’s none of your business.’ “
There you have it, fellow Nevada citizens. It’s none of our business to know whether or not Chattah had anything to do with, or helped with, getting Fiore a pardon from President Trump. None of our business whether or not Chattah’s friend (who had been nicknamed by some as “Lady Trump”), who was convicted by a jury on 7 felony counts and faced the possiblity of 140 years in prison, got help from interim US Attorney Chattah to get a full pardon.

At an event in Las Vegas Wednesday night (May 7, 2025) Sigal Chattah and Vickie Dehart enjoyed a wonderful evening together!
But where was “Nino”? Where was Anthony D’Anna, the convicted felon and documented organized crime figure? Tony is Vickie Dehart’s current longtime boyfriend who Chattah represented in an accident and injury case and who won a settlement (sealed by the court). Nino / Tony, nowhere to be seen ….
I wonder what Sigal and Vickie talked about? Maybe the mess Vickie’s gotten herself into related to the $1.5 million loan to Piero’s restaurant longtime general manager, Evan Glusman, son of the owner and founder, Freddie Glusman. The $1.5 million loan went through Dehart’s Diamonds NV Management, LLC; Dehart is the sole officer listed on the Nevada Secretary of State’s portal for business registrations. Evan is reportedly being investigated by authorities for “… taking out an unauthorized loan against [Piero’s] and then threatening a shooting,” according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained.
Did Nino’s name come up? I’m sure it did. I’m just sitting here speculating about that conversation between Chattah and Dehart. For example, I’m wondering if the two of them, sitting together at this event, ever talked about Nino’s bragging about not filing income taxes. Do you think Sigal would have asked Vickie about that? Or was there any conflict with Sigal representing Nino in that accident and injury case? Or with Sigal representing Tony’s mother, Erlava D’Anna in a separate case?
Maybe they talked about Sigal’s interim appointment as US Attorney for the District of Nevada, and how long she might be able to hold onto that post. Or maybe they talked about Sigal’s friend, Michele Fiore, who was convicted of 6 counts of wire fraud and one count of attempted wire fraud for her personal use of funds that Fiore raised for a statue honoring a fallen Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer; shortly before she was to be sentenced (which could have resulted in 140 years in jail if she had gotten the maximum) Fiore was pardoned by President Trump. Presidential pardon or not, the money Fiore raised never was used for the statue; it paid for some of Fiore’s personal expenses, such as plastic surgery and her daughter’s wedding.
It looked like Chattah had Fiore’s back; they were photographed by the Review Journal leaving court on Sept. 9, 2024, the date of Fiore’s arraignment. It was also reported that Sigal sat in the courtroom during Fiore’s trial. But now, seeing the fury that’s been raised from all ends of the political spectrum about Fiore’s pardon, Chattah seems to be distancing herself from Fiore, saying in an 8newsnow interview that “she used to be my friend,” and that “I have not talked to Michele for months.” Really? Interesting.
Sigal, what was your role in Michele Fiore’s presidential pardon? Did you have a role in it? Just curious. How does someone actually get a presidential pardon, or even get on the list to be granted a pardon, and how does that person rise to the top of the list for that? And so quickly, like Michele Fiore. What’s the process for that? Does a pardon application go through someone such as yourself, Sigal? You’re the interim US Attorney for the District of Nevada. Wouldn’t that have had to come from or at least through your office? I don’t know the answer to those questions. Perhaps you could help explain that, since no other media has bothered to ask these questions.
Sigal, I find it hard to believe that you said you’ve had no communication with Michele Fiore in months. Has it been one, two, three months? Has it been since her conviction in October 2024 — seven months? Or has it been since Fiore’s pardoning on April 23, 2025?
I can only imagine the conversation between the two of them. Kind of gets your imagination running …
