According to BlockBeats, President Trump signed a clemency order on July 3, pardoning 11 people, including several convicted under the Clean Air Act. Trump stated these individuals were "victims of persecution" by the Biden administration and imprisoned for repairing their own vehicles, saying "I am freeing them all right now."
Notably, FTX founder SBF has not appeared on the released pardon list. As the U.S. celebrates its 250th anniversary today, Trump will participate in multiple events nationwide. White House sources previously discussed rolling out a broader 250-person clemency as part of the 250th anniversary celebration, though this remains under consideration and has not been formally announced. Markets are watching Trump's statements today for further clues on potential additional pardons.
