Former President Joe Biden’s decision to commute the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates in the final days of his administration has sparked immediate pushback from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is now seeking ways to reverse those commutations.
In a letter to Department of Justice employees, Bondi criticized Biden’s actions, stating that they “undermine our justice system and subvert the rule of law.” She argued that the commutations stripped victims’ families of the justice they had fought for and directed the DOJ to take steps to correct the decision.
