Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced CEO and founder of the failed blood-testing startup Theranos, has asked President Donald Trump to commute her prison sentence, according to Justice Department records.
Holmes, 41, has been in prison since May 2023, stemming from her conviction on charges related to duping her investors by making false and misleading statements about Theranos' ability to develop a medical device that could run a range of tests from a single finger-prick sample.
She was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison -- a prison term that has more than once been reduced. She is scheduled for release three years early on Dec. 30, 2031.
Online records with the Justice Department's Office of the Pardon Attorney show that Holmes has asked Trump for a commutation of her sentence -- a request that, if granted, could reduce or eliminate her remaining prison time while leaving her conviction intact.
