Michelino Sunseri hopped on TMZ Live Thursday and reflected on the saga … telling us how he was taking on a Grand Teton trail in Wyoming last year — a historic path that’s been around since the ’30s, leading to the 13,775-foot-high peak — in an attempt to break the speed record … when one switchback somehow turned him into Public Enemy No. 1, with record-keepers tattling to the feds.
Catch the clip, ’cause Michelino lays out the absurdity … describing how there were more than 20 feds, some decked out in body armor with assault rifles, during his 2-day trial. An attorney visiting in support of his team — a prosecutor who’s spent years going after actual murderers and rapists — told him he’d never seen a circus like this!

Michelino was found guilty of a Class B misdemeanor and was set to get community service … before the whole saga somehow landed on Trump’s radar.

And just like that, the case finally ran its course — without Michelino breaking a sweat. But he has had time to think about how this tale sprinted its way up the chain to Trump … so catch our clip to hear why!
In a recent turn of events, trail runner Michelino Sunseri found himself in the midst of a federal fiasco during his attempt to break the speed record on the historic Grand Teton trail in Wyoming. The saga took an unexpected twist when former President Donald Trump intervened with a surprise presidential pardon, bringing an end to Michelino’s tumultuous journey.
Reflecting on the ordeal during an interview on TMZ Live, Michelino recounted how what started as a record-breaking trail run quickly escalated into a legal battle, with record-keepers alerting federal authorities. The situation reached a peak when Michelino, facing a Class B misdemeanor charge, found himself in a high-stakes trial surrounded by federal agents armed with assault rifles.
Despite the intense scrutiny and pressure, Michelino’s story took a positive turn when Trump took notice of his case and decided to grant him a pardon. The pardon not only lifted the legal burden off Michelino’s shoulders but also brought closure to a chapter that had taken an unexpected and chaotic turn.
As Michelino continues his trailblazing pursuits, he remains grateful for the opportunity to share his experience and reflect on the events that led to Trump’s intervention. The journey may have been challenging, but with Trump’s pardon, Michelino can now focus on his passion for trail running without the weight of legal troubles hanging over him.
