In a press conference held Monday afternoon, a reporter from Decrypt Media asked President Trump about the Samourai Wallet case. In response, Trump confirmed that he has heard about the case and that he will look at it further with help from his Attorney General, Pam Bondi. Following up, Trump playfully asked the reporter if he thought a pardon was appropriate. The lighthearted response has sent a wave of hope through an eager community of Bitcoin enthusiasts who are urging the President to take action before December 19, 2025 when Keonne Rodriguez is scheduled to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons. Co-defendant Bill Hill is scheduled to surrender on January 2, 2026.
