Joe Arpaio

HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio. In the United States the sheriff has always had a special status as the defender of their community, the embodiment of law, justice and the American way. But sheriffs can be politically controversial figures too - none more so than our guest today, Joe Arpaio, sheriff of Maricopa County Arizona for 24 years till last year. A self styled tough guy convicted of criminal contempt and controversially pardoned by president Donald Trump just two months ago. Did Joe Arpaio betray the American values he pledged to uphold?
