Bankman-Fried seeks presidential pardon from Trump

Sam Bankman-Fried, the former FTX CEO convicted of fraud and serving a 25-year sentence, has formally applied for a presidential pardon with the Justice Department. The move would restore certain civil liberties after he completes his sentence but would not erase the conviction. He has signaled support for Trump from prison, despite previously donating to Democratic campaigns, and Trump has previously said he does not plan to pardon him.
