Binance Co-founder’s Pardon: Lawyer Disputes ‘Pay-for-Play’ Claims

Changpeng Zhao’s (CZ) lawyer vehemently denied allegations that his pardon from US President Donald Trump was part of a quid pro quo deal. In an interview on Anthony Pompliano’s podcast, Teresa Goody Guillén argued that the criticism surrounding CZ’s pardon is based on false statements and highlights the need to understand how government processes work. She emphasized that the request for clemency followed standard procedures, passing through various levels of review before reaching Trump’s desk.
