The final days of a presidency are the season of pardons, as presidents seek to right what they see as judicial wrongs before they leave D.C.
Biden actually has been reluctant to show mercy - handing out just 26 pardons and commuting 135 criminal sentences since he took office in January 2021.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reiterated that while Biden is considering more clemency announcements, she could not predict specifics or timing.
Barack Obama ended his two terms with 212 pardons and a whopping 1,715 commutations, far more than any recent president, highlighting a stark contrast.
