\nAccording to The Daily Beast, outgoing U.S. president Donald Trump is considering granting clemency to Ross Ulbricht \u2014 the founder and operator of the pioneering darknet market, Silk Road.<\/p>\n

Ulbricht was arrested in 2013 and received two life sentences without parole for non-violent offenses in 2015.<\/p>\n

The anonymous sources relied on in the report claim<\/a> that the White House counsel\u2019s office has been reviewing documents related to Ulbricht\u2019s case, and that the President has been made aware of the situation.<\/p>\n

Two sources claim that Trump has privately expressed sympathy for Ulbricht and has considered his name for the next round of pardons.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the publication, Ulbricht\u2019s mother Lyn expressed admiration for Trump\u2019s criminal justice reform policies, adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re praying and remain hopeful that he will show mercy on Ross, as he has others, and commute his sentence to time served and give my son a second chance at life.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jo Jorgensen, the 2020 candidate for the Libertarian Party, campaigned for the pardoning of Ulbricht, in addition to whistle blowers Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning.<\/p>\n

Trump has a little over a month to grant the pardon, with President-elect Joe Biden being sworn into office on Jan. 20.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
