Donald Trump hit out Tuesday at Joe Biden for commuting the sentences of almost every American federal prisoner on death row, as the president-elect prepared to replace the Democrat in the White House.
President Biden, in his final month in office, announced Monday he was converting the death sentences of 37 of the 40 inmates awaiting federal execution to life without the possibility of parole.
They included nine people convicted of murdering fellow prisoners, four for murders committed during bank robberies and one who killed a prison guard.
“Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country,” Trump posted on Truth Social, his social media platform.
“When you hear the acts of each, you won’t believe that he did this,” he added. “Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can’t believe this is happening!”
