Charlie Javice is pushing for a presidential pardon following her conviction for defrauding JPMorgan Chase, the bank that acquired her startup Frank for $175 million before her sentencing last September to over seven years in prison.

People close to Javice have been reaching out to individuals connected to the Trump administration to build support for clemency, according to sources. Her efforts come as President Trump considers issuing 250 pardons to coincide with the nation's 250th birthday celebration this summer, part of a broader wave of clemency requests from white-collar defendants.

Despite the lobbying, Javice's name does not appear on any formal Justice Department pardon lists. A White House official confirmed that Trump retains final authority over all clemency decisions, though no ruling has been announced. Javice has not commented on the requests. Her case highlights how high-profile fraud convictions can lead to direct appeals for executive mercy, even as the legal process concludes.
