Elizabeth Holmes is openly seeking a pardon from President Trump, hoping that by a combination of sucking up and perhaps digital fawning that she will get it, he said."
"Holmes is not permitted access to the internet or social media from her minimum-security prison outside Houston, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons said.

The White House and Justice Department did not comment on clemency inquiries.
