Tiger King has claimed the White House is actively reviewing his murder-for-hire conviction.

The Netflix star, also known as Joe 'Exotic' Maldonado, has been begging President Donald Trump for a pardon since the Republican's first term.

'Officially heard from the White House today. Everything this being investigated in my case,' the 62-year-old wrote on social media on Friday.

He added: 'Clemency #C322279 just needs signed so i can put this behind me.'

According to the Justice Department's Office of the Pardon Attorney, Joe filed a request for a commutation of his sentence on August 1 that is pending review.
