Binance Founder Submits Presidential Pardon Request to Trump

Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance, has confirmed submitting a pardon request to former President Donald Trump. This reversal follows his previous denials of such efforts. The admission came during a May 6 interview on Farokh Radio, where Mr. Zhao stated that he opted to formally submit the request after media reports suggesting his involvement in discussions with both the Trump family and Binance’s legal issues. In March, Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal reported these claims, sparking speculation about potential political influence and connections between the two entities.
