The debate over presidential pardons is back in the spotlight after President Donald Trump dismissed concerns about his decision to pardon Binance founder Changpeng Zhao — a billionaire who admitted to violating federal anti–money laundering laws. In a recent “60 Minutes” interview, Trump claimed he barely knew Zhao, even as critics point to the criminal case’s national-security implications and Zhao’s financial ties to Trump’s sons. The episode has revived long-running questions about abuse of the pardon power and renewed calls for Congress or even Constitutional action to place limits on it.
