He commutes the sentences of those convicted.
President Donald Trump pardoned roughly 1,500 and commuted the sentences of 6 who were imprisoned over the events of January 6, 2021. The House select committee had reportedly suppressed certain evidence and then destroyed records pertaining to the investigation of the events of January 6th, “irreparably tainting” the legal record.
President Trump also pardoned 21 pro-life advocates who were convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act as interpreted by President Biden’s administration. The president referenced the lack of charges brought against Black Lives Matter activists who committed violence while some peaceful pro-life protestors were sentenced to years in federal prison.
President Biden pardoned 1,500 convicted of drug-related crimes and commuted death row murderers’ sentences in December. He then pardoned 2,500 more days before leaving office. The former president also issued preemptive pardons to members of his administration and party as well as members of his family, on the morning of Inauguration Day.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump and incoming officials in his administration to be discerning in their approach to justice reforms.
- For the federal employees as they adapt to the change in administration and policies.
