After the war she was cleared by US military and Justice department officials. Despite this, she was tried and imprisoned for treason due to an uproar generated by Walter Winchell (a powerful broadcasting personality). Also, the American Legion lobbied relentlessly for her trial prompting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to renew its investigation of Toguri's wartime activities. In the end, she served six years and two months despite never having broadcast any propaganda nor speaking against the United States and being found not guilty on seven of the eight charges. US President Gerald Ford granted a full and unconditional pardon to Iva Toguri D'Aquino in 1977, based on the lack of evidence and perjured testimony given by several government witnesses.
