Elizabeth Holmes, convicted of fraud for deceiving investors about Theranos' blood-testing tech, seeks a presidential commutation of her 11-year sentence.

Elizabeth Holmes, former Theranos CEO convicted in 2022 of fraud and conspiracy for misleading investors about her company’s blood-testing technology, has requested President Donald Trump to commute her 11-year, three-month prison sentence. Her request, filed in 2025 and pending with the DOJ’s Office of the Pardon Attorney, seeks early release but would not eliminate her $452 million restitution obligation. A federal appeals court upheld her conviction and sentence in February 2024. Holmes, 41, is serving time at a minimum-security prison camp in Texas and is eligible for release in December 2031. The White House has not commented, and her legal team has not responded to inquiries.
