Michelle Bond, wife of former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame, will appear in court this week for a hearing on evidence regarding allegations of political funding violations. She is accused of receiving 400,000 USD from FTX funds for the 2022 election campaign, but has denied all allegations.
Salame had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to make illegal political contributions and is serving a 7.5-year prison sentence. Bond's legal team argued that her testimony, along with the circumstances related to Salame's plea agreement, is "directly and necessary" to defend their client.
The upcoming hearing will be Bond's first appearance in court after months of legal disputes, and it may also invite former prosecutor Danielle Sassoon to testify.
