The GOP claimed Biden didn’t know whom he was pardoning. Trump now admits he doesn’t know whom he’s pardoning
President Donald Trump keeps complicating the GOP’s message about former President Joe Biden’s pardons by disclaiming his own role in and knowledge of major decisions.
But President Donald Trump now says he didn’t know much about one of his own most controversial recent pardons — that of Changpeng Zhao, founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance.
The president also emphasized that he was relying on things people around him said.
“I don’t know who he is,” Trump said in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday. He soon added that he knew “nothing about it.”
Back on October 23, Trump offered similar comments. When pressed on the pardon by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Trump didn’t seem to know who Collins was asking about, despite the pardon having been issued the very same day.
“Oh, the recent one, yes,” Trump said when Collins refreshed his memory. “I believe we’re talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people.”
(In fact, Zhao was the only person Trump had pardoned that week.)
On news on radio coming home NBC had audio of Binance's own compliance officer talking about how easily they were laundering drug money.
