Claimant: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
Claim: The judge said the Biden administration’s sentencing recommendation was “egregious and went too far.”
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: The judge rejected the prosecution’s three-year recommendation for Binance founder Changpeng Zhao but did not use the words “egregious” or “witch hunt.” He acknowledged Zhao’s wrongdoing and sentenced him to four months, indicating disagreement with the length, not the legitimacy, of the case.
