Bernie Madoff wants Trump to commute his prison sentence
(CNN) - Bernie Madoff, the infamous mastermind behind the largest Ponzi scheme in history, is asking President Donald Trump to commute his 150-year prison sentence. Madoff filed a clemency petition that is currently "pending," according to the Justice Department's website. The White House did not immediately respond to questions about whether Trump will grant Madoff's request. In a rare 2013 interview, Madoff told CNN from prison that he was "responsible for my son Mark's death and that's very, very difficult." Madoff has been serving his sentence at a federal prison in Butner, North Carolina.
