Chelsea Manning, the former Army private sentenced to 35 years in prison
for the largest data leak in US history, has formally submitted a
pardon request to President Obama.
A presidential pardon could allow Manning to leave Fort
Leavenworth prison in Kansas and re-enter society as a civilian.
The president has the ability to grant a full and unconditional
pardon, to commute a sentence, or to rescind a fine.
Manning’s attorney, David Coombs, announced the news on Twitter
earlier Tuesday. Coombs previously announced that he would seek a
pardon for Manning and planned to include a personal plea from
Manning to Obama.
