The White House officially stated today: President Trump will not pardon SBF A Fortune reporter reached out to the White House for confirmation today, and a spokesperson replied via email: President Trump has no intention of pardoning SBF, emphasizing that the president is the ultimate decision-maker for all pardons. Recently, SBF has been directing his account via prison phone and email, posting multiple pro-Trump messages, including: "When Clinton sentenced me, it was clearly politically biased. I admire the president for standing up against such radical judges!" "Democrats love censoring misinformation on social media, while Truth Social and GETTR always prioritize free speech." The White House's response directly referenced Trump's statement in a January 8th *New York Times* interview: The president had already explicitly ruled out pardons for SBF, Robert Menendez, former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and others. Trump has already pardoned SBF's rival—Binance founder CZ—but his stance on SBF, a major Democratic donor involved in an $8 billion fraud case, remains unchanged. Currently, SBF is serving a 25-year federal sentence and is seeking a retrial through the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
