Pardons and Commutations

  • Summary

  • Tonight, on Politics Nation, President Biden has pardoned 39 and commuted the sentences for more than 1,500 Americans. Johnnie Earl Williams is among those pardoned and he joins us tonight to talk more about his work in his community since his conviction and what the pardon means for him. Meanwhile, President-Elect Donald Trump says he will pardon those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, four years ago, on his first day of office. The president-elect also says current and former lawmakers who investigated him during his actions that day should be jailed. Former Chair of the January 6th Committee and Mississippi Democrat Bennie Thompson discusses the possibility of preemptive pardons from President Biden for himself and other Trump targets. And the President of The American Civil Liberties Union, Deborah Archer appears to talk about how civil rights advocates are bracing for Trump’s second term.
