Elizabeth Holmes, imprisoned founder of Theranos, has asked President Trump for a commutation of her sentence. Holmes was convicted of fraud and is currently serving an 11-year term; this request seeks her immediate release with nearly six years remaining. As part of a broader trend of clemency petitions to the administration, her application argues for a second chance, aiming to avoid the majority of her prison time. While Trump has pardoned other white-collar criminals like Steve Bannon, the status of Holmes’s request remains uncertain.
