HuffPost
The president's attack on Biden comes back to haunt him.
Critics on Sunday slammed President Donald Trump for claiming he doesn’t know Changpeng Zhao, the Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder he pardoned less than two weeks ago.
“60 Minutes” correspondent Norah O’Donnell pointed out to Trump that Zhao was convicted in 2023 of violating anti-money laundering laws.
“The government at the time said that C.Z. had caused ‘significant harm to U.S. national security,’ essentially by allowing terrorist groups like Hamas to move millions of dollars around,” she noted. “Why did you pardon him?”
“OK, are you ready?” Trump replied. “I don’t know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that. And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt.”
U.S. officials had accused Binance of failing to report suspicious activity, including transactions linked to Hamas, al Qaeda and websites known to distribute child porn, according to Reuters.
