Despite saying he didn’t know who CZ is, Trump said Zhao “was treated really badly by the Biden administration.”

Trump’s claim that he knows nothing about a high-profile clemency recipient comes as he and Republicans have asserted that pardons issued by Biden using an “autopen” are invalid because, they contend, the president was not aware of what he was signing.
