Trump: "I don't know" Binance founder he pardoned [View all]

President Trump claimed he didn't know who crypto exchange founder Changpeng Zhao was in an interview aired Sunday, less than two weeks after he pardoned him.

Why it matters: The pardon sparked bipartisan criticism, aggravated by the reported connections between the Trump family's crypto empire and Zhao's Binance.

Driving the news: Asked during his sit-down with CBS News' "60 Minutes" why he pardoned CZ, Trump replied, "Okay, are you ready? I don't know who he is."
