Former President Donald Trump on Saturday told a Libertarian Party event that he will commute the founder of the infamous Silk Road online marketplace during his first day in office.
“And if you vote for me, on day one, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht,” the former president said, referring to the creator of the dark web website that was used to facilitate the sale of illegal narcotics. That generated an applause from the audience. “He’s already served 11 years ... we’re gonna get him home,” he added.
