You didn’t think it would stop with Hunter, did you?
According to an official White House press release, President Biden commuted 1,500 sentences and granted 39 pardons on Thursday in what’s being called the ‘largest single-day grant of clemency’ in modern history.
While no specific names have been released, the White House says Americans receiving pardons and commutations include:
- A decorated military veteran and pilot who spends much of his time helping his fellow church members who are in poor health or unable to perform strenuous tasks;
- A nurse who has led emergency response for several natural disasters and who helped spearhead vaccination efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic; and
- An addiction counselor who volunteers his time to help young people find their purpose, make better choices, and refrain from destructive behaviors and gang involvement.
“The President has issued more sentence commutations at this point in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors at the same point in their first terms,” White House officials said in a statement.
Biden has signaled more pardons and commutations are on the way.
“I will take more steps in the weeks ahead. My Administration will continue reviewing clemency petitions to advance equal justice under the law, promote public safety, support rehabilitation and reentry, and provide meaningful second chances,” Biden said.
