Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann is considering that former Likud MK Naomi Blumenthal be pardoned for her crimes. In two weeks, Blumenthal is scheduled to start serving  a sentence of 8 months in prison for renting hotel rooms for Likud Central Committee members on the eve of party primaries and for witness tampering. Members of Knesset have been pushing for a pardon in the wake of the recent death of Blumenthal's husband.
