Biden Considering More Pardons and Commutations, White House Says

President Joe Biden is reviewing other pardons and commutations, according to the White House on Thursday.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre weighed in on the move in her first public remarks since the president’s controversial decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden on Dec. 1.

During Thursday’s press briefing, Jean-Pierre was asked whether the president is considering blanket pardons for either individuals or groups of people who were fearful of being potentially targeted by the incoming Trump administration.

“I’m not going to get ahead of the president, but what I can say is that the president is reviewing other pardons and commutations,” Jean-Pierre said.

She said Biden so far has issued 20 individual pardons and 122 commutations during his presidency.
