President Biden is commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 individuals—the largest grant of clemency by an American president in a single day—focusing on those affected by nonviolent crimes and home confinement during the pandemic.
The White House emphasized that these commutations reaffirm Mr. Biden's commitment to reuniting families and strengthening communities while helping individuals reintegrate into society post-incarceration.
This clemency initiative follows Mr. Biden's controversial pardon of his son, Hunter, for gun possession and tax evasion, which drew significant bipartisan criticism.
