White House Confirms Trump Will Not Pardon FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried

The White House has reiterated that President Trump has no plans to pardon FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to 25 years for fraud related to the cryptocurrency exchange.

Bankman-Fried has recently been active on X, formerly Twitter, posting messages of support for Trump and criticizing the justice system and Judge Lewis Kaplan. These posts have been interpreted by some as an attempt to solicit a presidential pardon.

White House Press Secretary stated that President Trump had already made it clear in January that he would not be issuing pardons to individuals such as Bankman-Fried, Robert Menendez, and Nicolás Maduro. The spokesperson emphasized that the "President is the ultimate decision-maker on all pardon cases."
