President Joe Biden has issued 39 pardons and commuted the sentences of nearly 1,500 individuals, marking the most acts of presidential clemency announced in a single day. The pardons primarily involve non-violent offenders, including drug-related convictions. Biden emphasized the importance of rehabilitation and second chances, particularly for those affected by outdated laws. This move follows a controversial pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, raising debates on the implications of presidential clemency. Biden’s actions are part of a broader trend among U.S. presidents to grant clemency to those close to them.
