Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has officially applied for a pardon from former US President Donald Trump. According to Watcher Guru, CZ confirmed in a recent interview that the application was submitted approximately two weeks ago. This action follows earlier reports from Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal in March, suggesting discussions within the Trump family regarding acquiring Binance US shares and potentially pardoning CZ. Zhao initially denied these reports. However, CZ stated, "I decided to apply for a pardon after the media reports came out. I thought it would be better to officially apply for a pardon if these reports were coming out." He added, "My lawyers are handling it. We will proceed with the legal procedures for the pardon process." The basis for the pardon request and potential outcomes remain to be seen. The crypto community awaits further developments in this legal matter. ```
