Elizabeth Holmes Asks Trump to Commute Her Prison Sentence

Her request is pending in the Justice Department’s clemency database with the decision up to President Trump.

Overview

  • The Office of the Pardon Attorney lists Holmes’ 2025 commutation petition as pending review.
  • Holmes, 41, is serving an 11.25-year sentence at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas with a Bureau of Prisons release date in late 2031.
  • A federal appeals court last year upheld her 2022 fraud conviction and a $452 million restitution order shared with Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani.
  • A commutation could shorten her remaining prison time but would not erase the restitution, which would be waived only by a full pardon.
  • Holmes publicly acknowledged the filing on X and has posted about her case, while the White House says clemency decisions are for the president and does not comment on requests.
