President Obama’s Been Busy Pardoning People
President Obama has pardoned or shortened the sentences of more than 200 people convicted of federal crimes.
FOX’s Malini Wilkes reports from Washington:
It’s the highest number of individual acts of clemency in a single day by any President. The White House says President Obama has pardoned 78 people and commuted the sentences of 153 others.
The President has made clemency for non-violent drug offenders a priority in his administration and he has granted clemencies at accelerated pace in recent months.
He’s expected to issue even more of them before leaving office.
