[Trump Pardons 11 People, SBF Not on the List, Today's Celebration Becomes the Focus] BlockBeats reports that on July 3 (local time), one day before Independence Day, U.S. President Trump signed a pardon order, granting clemency to 11 individuals. Among them were several individuals convicted under the Clean Air Act. Trump described these individuals as victims of 'persecution by the Biden administration,' who were imprisoned or faced incarceration for repairing their own cars. 'I am freeing them all right now,' he stated. Notably, SBF, the founder of FTX and a highly watched potential pardon candidate in the crypto space, has not been included in the announced pardon list. Today (July 4) marks the 250th anniversary of the United States, and Trump is scheduled to participate in events at multiple locations. The White House had previously discussed the possibility of issuing a large-scale pardon for 250 individuals as part of the celebration, but these plans remain under consideration and have not been officially announced. The market is closely watching Trump's statements today. The competition for pardons under the Trump administration has significantly intensified, with the president himself exerting unprecedented personal control over the pardon process. He has frequently used his pardon power to support allies and advance his own political agenda. The pardon process is managed by a small team consisting of White House Special Counsel David Warrington, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin. Most cases are initially reviewed and coordinated by Warrington and Martin with the Department of Justice. The shortlisted candidates are then submitted to Wiles for review, after which Warrington and Wiles present the final selections to Trump for a decision.
