clemency

This pattern of presidents sullying the office as they leave it with clemency for the connected should end, even if the pardon power lives on.

Some Democrats have urged President Biden to offer the same clemency not only to political figures towards whom Trump bears a grudge, but also to less privileged individuals jailed for nonviolent offenses.

It’s not just the progressive wing of the Democratic Party using the pardon of Hunter Biden to argue for a broader and potentially sweeping use of executive clemency power.

The president grants clemency to an ex-Secret Service agent who tried to sell a copy of an agency file and to two people convicted of drug charges.

The White House has defended President Joe Biden's pardon of his son, Hunter, after repeatedly insisting he had no plans to grant such executive clemency.
