Khan\u2019s plight has also been highlighted by longtime Trump ally and adviser Richard Grenell, who took to social media late last year when he tweeted, &#8220;Free Imran Khan!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A Pakistani court sentenced Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, to 14 and seven years in jail after finding them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/pakistans-imran-khan-his-wife-plead-not-guilty-graft-case-alleging-political-conspiracy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guilty of corruption<\/a>. They were convicted for allegedly accepting land as a bribe through the Al-Qadir Trust, which they had set up while Khan was in office. Khan, however, maintains his innocence, describing the events as a &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; in exclusive comments to Fox News Digital. It is just one of the more than 100 cases he is facing. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/pakistani-court-sentences-ex-pm-imran-khan-his-wife-14-7-years-prison-graft-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>PAKISTANI COURT SENTENCES EX-PM IMRAN KHAN AND HIS WIFE TO 14 AND 7 YEARS IN PRISON IN GRAFT CASE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/343\/192\/trump-khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/686\/384\/trump-khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/672\/378\/trump-khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1344\/756\/trump-khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/931\/523\/trump-khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1862\/1046\/trump-khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"523\" width=\"931\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/720\/405\/trump-khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1440\/810\/trump-khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>President Donald Trump greets Pakistan&#8217;s Prime Minister Imran Khan at the White House, July 22, 2019.<\/span> <span>(AP Photo\/Jacquelyn Martin)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In response to Fox News Digital questions about Khan&#8217;s conviction, Pakistan&#8217;s federal minister for information and broadcasting, Ata Ullah TararIn, defended Khan&#8217;s conviction. &#8220;The 190 million pound case is one of the biggest corruption cases in the history of Pakistan, and it is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/former-pakistani-prime-minister-imran-khan-sentenced-10-years-prison-cipher-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mega scam<\/a> in which former Prime Minister Imran Khan, and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have been found to be guilty.

And in a manner similar to Trump, Khan did away with the elitism of politics, focusing on the average person instead.<\/p>\n<p>Khan told Fox News Digital that his political party &#8220;is an inclusive party that represents the diverse fabric of Pakistan.&#8221; He noted that while Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was initially perceived as a party of the educated elite, that notion was &#8220;quickly dispelled.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/pakistans-former-prime-minister-imran-khan-arrested-corruption-charges-police\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FORMER PAKISTAN PRIME MINISTER IMRAN KHAN ARRESTED ON CORRUPTION CHARGES BY POLICE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/343\/192\/Imran-Khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/686\/384\/Imran-Khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/672\/378\/Imran-Khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1344\/756\/Imran-Khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/931\/523\/Imran-Khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1862\/1046\/Imran-Khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"523\" width=\"931\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/720\/405\/Imran-Khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1440\/810\/Imran-Khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1200\/675\/Imran-Khan.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Imran Khan\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>Former Prime Minister Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, his wife, speak to the media at an office of Lahore High Court in Lahore, Pakistan, on July 17, 2023.<\/span> <span>(AP Photo\/K.M.
