Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ legal team is trying to obtain documents from federal agencies that would help clear her of wrongdoing in her criminal fraud case, a member of her defense team said Monday.
Holmes, the disgraced former CEO of the defunct blood-testing startup, and former Theranos president Sunny Balwani are charged with felony conspiracy and fraud for allegedly misleading patients, doctors and investors. They claimed their machines — deployed at Walgreens stores in Palo Alto and Arizona — could conduct a full range of tests using only a few drops of blood. Both appeared in federal court in San Jose on Monday, Holmes in a light-gray suit instead of the Steve Jobs-style black turtleneck she had adopted earlier as her trademark garment.
