The U.S. Department of Justice has begun reviewing pardons and commutations granted by President Joe Biden, according to sources familiar with the matter, as part of an internal inquiry into the presidential clemency process.
The probe, which remains confidential, aims to assess whether any of the pardons issued by Biden were inappropriate or possibly granted due to improper considerations. The review is part of a broader effort by the Justice Department to ensure transparency and integrity in the presidential pardon system.
Clemency powers, vested solely in the President of the United States, allow the issuance of pardons, commutations, and reprieves to individuals convicted of federal crimes. Historically, these powers have been subject to political controversy, especially when allegations arise of favoritism or quid pro quo arrangements.
While sources declined to specify which pardons are under scrutiny, the investigation reportedly covers a range of cases granted during Biden’s time in office, including both high-profile and lesser-known clemency decisions. The inquiry also reflects increased congressional and public attention on the clemency process following concerns over potential abuses under previous administrations.
The White House has not publicly commented on the Justice Department’s review. Meanwhile, Justice Department officials have reiterated their commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring all pardons are granted fairly and in accordance with established guidelines.
This development comes amid ongoing scrutiny of presidential clemency powers and adds to the broader political debate over transparency and accountability in executive decision-making.
