Read our privacy policy President Biden announced on Thursday he was granting 39 pardons to people with non-violent criminal convictions and commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500, the largest single-day act of clemency in modern presidential history, according to the White House. “As President, I have the great privilege of extending mercy to people who have demonstrated remorse and rehabilitation, restoring opportunity for Americans to participate in daily life and contribute to their communities, and taking steps to remove sentencing disparities for non-violent offenders, especially those convicted of drug offenses.” Those who are pardoned will see their convictions removed from their records, while those getting their sentences commuted — in this case, prisoners who were moved to home confinement during the pandemic — will see their remaining sentences reduced or ended. The Biden administration is also reportedly mulling preemptive pardons for figures like former congresswoman Liz Cheney and former White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci.
