White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says Donald Trump’s pardon of Changpeng Zhao went through a “thorough review process” before the president signed it off.
The White House carefully considered Binance founder Changpeng Zhao’s pardon and went through the standard processes before sending it to President Donald Trump for his approval, says White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Trump defended the pardon in an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes on Sunday, saying he had “no idea” who Zhao is and dismissed criticism of his pardon as politically motivated.
Leavitt said in a briefing on Tuesday that Trump’s comments on Zhao in the interview were meant to convey that “he does not know him personally” and that the president “does not have a personal relationship with this individual.”
