President Donald Trump says he has no idea who the money-laundering crypto billionaire he pardoned actually is.

Trump last month pardoned Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, who pled guilty to money-laundering violations that allowed criminal groups to move money connected to drug trafficking and child abuse.

The pardon came just months after Binance, a crypto exchange, struck a $2 billion deal in partnership with the Trump family’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial.

During Trump’s interview on 60 Minutes Sunday, Norah O’Donnell asked the 79-year-old president why he had granted clemency to Zhao.

“Okay, are you ready? I don’t know who he is,” Trump, 79, replied. “I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that. And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt.”
