There is no confirmed public list of future Trump pardon recipients in the sources reviewed through October 4, 2026. The three names reported in connection with a proposed “250 for 250” effort—Jho Low, Pras Michel and Nicole Daedone—were subsequently described by a White House official as not being “on the radar of the pardon team.” They should be treated as reported possibilities that the White House disavowed, not as confirmed picks.
Names reported in connection with the proposed pardon effort
The Atlantic reported on June 29, 2026, that people familiar with discussions said three people were being considered as part of a possible “250 for 250” effort. The same report included responses from the White House and representatives for two of the people named. It did not establish an official candidate roster or a decision to pardon anyone. The Atlantic’s report is the source for these reported possibilities.
| Name | What was reported | What is confirmed about status |
|---|---|---|
| Low Taek Jho, known as Jho Low | The Atlantic’s sources said he was under consideration for the proposed effort. | A White House official later said the named individuals were not on the pardon team’s radar. No grant is established by the cited reporting. |
| Pras Michel | The Atlantic’s sources said he was under consideration. | His attorney, David Tafuri, said they had no involvement in potential-pardon matters and had held “zero discussions with anyone in the US Government about it.” The White House official also said the named individuals were not on the team’s radar. |
| Nicole Daedone | The Atlantic’s sources said she was under consideration. | OneTaste spokesperson Juda S. Engelmayer said, “we know people are advocating for us,” but the company had received no communication through official channels. The White House official also said the named individuals were not on the team’s radar. |
The White House official’s response to The Atlantic was: “While the President is the final decision maker on all pardons, these individuals are not on the radar of the pardon team.” That clarification is central: the report described what unnamed sources said was under consideration, while the White House denied the three named people were on the pardon team’s radar.
Other possible candidates described without names
The Atlantic also reported anonymous-source descriptions of unnamed wealthy people from India, Greece, Turkey and France, and of people serving mandatory-minimum sentences for firearm offenses as a category that might be considered. The article did not identify these people, establish their eligibility as candidates, or report an adopted policy. Nationality or sentence type alone does not show that someone is being considered.

Why Ghislaine Maxwell is discussed separately
Ghislaine Maxwell appeared in a separate public discussion, not as a confirmed member of the reported “250 for 250” group. In Senate floor remarks recorded on July 29, 2026, a senator discussed the possibility of a pardon or sentence reduction and quoted Trump as saying, “I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ.” The Congressional Record entry documents the senator’s remarks; it is not an executive clemency decision or evidence that a grant was made. Any allegations recounted in that speech about discussions with Maxwell’s counsel should be understood as claims attributed to the speaker, not as a formal administration announcement.
How to tell a pardon from a rumor or discussion
A reported possibility, a public comment and a completed pardon are different things. The DOJ Office of the Pardon Attorney assists the president with executive clemency, and its clemency grants page records completed actions rather than announcing a prospective list. The office’s official description explains its role. For an individual grant, a presidential proclamation is primary evidence of the action and its terms.

- Granted: Look for a signed presidential instrument or an entry in the official DOJ grants record.
- Reported as under consideration: Attribute the claim to the reporting and preserve any denials or qualifications alongside the name.
- Publicly floated or discussed: A public remark or advocacy effort does not establish that the administration has decided to act.
- Not confirmed: No official candidate announcement appears in the sources reviewed through October 4, 2026. That does not prove no private discussions exist.
The White House’s June 4, 2026, proclamation for Stephen E. Buyer shows what a completed grant looks like: it states, “I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States, do hereby grant a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to Stephen E. Buyer.” It is an example of a formal pardon, not evidence about any of the prospective names above.
Why any prospective list can become outdated
Pardon actions can occur after rumors or public discussion, so a prospective list is not a reliable record of completed grants. The Associated Press reported that Trump pardoned 11 people on July 3, 2026, including nine people tied to vehicle-emissions violations. Those were completed actions reported by AP, not a forecast of future recipients.

Associated Press report on the July 3 pardons.

How the application process fits in
The Atlantic described the established pardon-application route as running through the DOJ Office of the Pardon Attorney, while its sources also described informal advocacy to the White House. Informal advocacy is not the same as a formal DOJ application or evidence of administration consideration. A DOJ spokesperson told The Atlantic: “Anyone is eligible to apply for a pardon and POTUS is the ultimate decider.” That statement describes the ability to apply and the president’s authority; it does not confirm any particular person is under consideration.
