KUALA LUMPUR, May 13 — Malaysian fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, widely known as Jho Low, has sought a pardon from United States (US) President Donald Trump, reported the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on Tuesday.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
Several people familiar with the matter were cited as saying that the request was filed in recent weeks and, if granted, would remove US criminal charges against him.
The WSJ added that a Justice Department website lists a pending request for a "Pardon after Completion of Sentence" under Low, filed this year.
A White House official said his request was not currently on the White House's radar.
