Donald Trump opposed the decision of US President Joe Biden to announce pardon.
US President Joe Biden on Monday commuted the death sentences of 37 people to life imprisonment. Donald Trump did not like his decision. He opposed this decision and said that as soon as I take oath, I will order the Justice Department to continue giving the death penalty to protect American families from rapists, murderers and savages. We will again strengthen law and order in the country.
Let us tell you that President Joe Biden had banned the death penalty. However, Trump has said that this punishment will be started again.
In America, the President often uses special power to reduce or waive the punishment of some people before the end of his term. Biden also used these powers to reduce the sentence of 37 people. Once the President reduces or pardons someone’s sentence, it cannot be changed.
Families of the deceased saddened by Biden’s decision – Trump Trump wrote on the social media platform that after hearing the exploits of these culprits, it will not be believed that they have done this. The families of the deceased are saddened by the decision of the Biden administration. They can’t believe it.
The White House had said regarding this matter that President Biden supports death penalty only for terrorism and mass murder related to hatred.
In the statement issued by Biden, it was also said that we express our condolences to the families of the victims who suffered losses, but now we cannot go back from this decision.
Equal Justice Initiative founder Bryan Stevenson called Biden’s decision an important turning point in American history.
Many people praised Biden According to the Justice Department, till December 13, during his tenure as President, Joe Biden has pardoned the sentences of 65 people, while reducing the sentences of 1,634 prisoners. Many people from civil society have praised Biden for this decision and called him courageous.
Two weeks before this, Biden had announced to reduce the sentence of 1500 prisoners. All these prisoners were released from jail during the Corona epidemic and were under house arrest. Apart from these, he had pardoned the punishment of 39 criminals who were not involved in violent crimes.
Biden also pardoned the sentence of his son Hunter Earlier, Joe Biden had also pardoned the sentence of his son Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden was facing punishment for illegal gun possession and tax evasion.
Regarding waiving the sentence of his son, Joe Biden said that I have full faith in law and order, but politics has made it dirty. This is a failure of the justice system. Any sane person who has followed Hunter’s case would know that he was targeted simply because he is my son.
