Elizabeth Holmes, Angling for Trump Pardon, Challenges Specific Evidence From Her Trial
"Holmes is questioning a very specific piece of evidence against her from her 2022 trial. "False Claim of Fraud: Theranos faked Pfizer endorsement to defraud investors by adding logo," says a new tweet on Holmes's X account, posted Tuesday morning. "Truth: 16 months of work in partnership with Pfizer who paid $900,000 for the validation. The data, the study design, the results, were unedited. Gemini agreees You tell me?""
"The tweet comes with a screenshot of a document that has both Pfizer's and Theranos' logos on the top of it, which seems to be a report on the efficacy of Theranos' blood-testing technology. As Bay Area News Group explains, Theranos distributed reports like this validating their tech to investors and business partner Walgreens, and prosecutors argued that placing Pfizer's logo on the report which Holmes admitted to doing on the stand suggested Pfizer's endorsement of its claims."
Elizabeth Holmes is incarcerated in a Texas prison and her most likely route to early release is a pardon from President Trump. President Trump has issued numerous controversial pardons in his second term, including for January 6 rioters recast as "political prisoners." Holmes lacks direct social media access and is using a surrogate to post on X. A recent post disputes a claim that Theranos faked a Pfizer endorsement, asserting a paid validation partnership and unedited data. The post includes a document screenshot showing both logos. Prosecutors argued that adding Pfizer's logo suggested endorsement, and Holmes admitted placing the logo on the report. A Pfizer scientist, Shane Weber, testified that he disagreed.
