President Biden reduced the sentences of almost all federal death row inmates on Monday, saving the lives of 37 men just one month before Donald J. Trump returned to the White House vowing to resume federal executions.
Instead of being put to death, those impacted by Mr. Biden’s action all of whom were found guilty of murder will be sentenced to life in prison without the chance of release. Federal death row will be reduced to just three convicts, all of whom committed infamous mass murders.
In a lengthy social media statement on Christmas Day, President-elect Trump on Wednesday informed the 37 individuals whose death sentences were commuted by President Biden. Trump has repeatedly condemned the decision. He said, “I refuse to wish a Merry Christmas to those lucky ‘souls’ but, instead, will say, GO TO HELL!”.
On truth Social, Trump criticized Biden for pardoning 37 federal death row inmates, calling them “violent criminals” who committed heinous crimes, and labeling the pardon as “incredible” and misguided.
Trump also addressed foreign policy with China, Panama, Canada, and Greenland in his letter on Wednesday. He claims he wants to restore U.S. control over the Panama Canal and accused Chinese troops of “illegally” occupying it.
