Specifically, the National Archives could not find signed memos confirming Biden&#8217;s approval on certain commutations and pardons, including some for family members.

This inquiry has produced significant findings. According to official data from the Pew Research Center shared by Just the News, Biden issued 4,245 acts of clemency during his four-year term. In his final months in office, four meetings reportedly occurred between December 2024 and January 2025 concerning some of these clemencies. During these meetings, Biden allegedly gave verbal approval for several clemencies, including commutations for death row inmates and pardons for family members. Discussions also covered CARES Act home confinement recipients and individuals serving sentences related to crack cocaine charges, which Biden purportedly approved.<\/p>\n<p>However, the National Archives has stated there is no evidence that Biden attended these meetings. Just the News reported that no staff notes confirm his presence or approval during those sessions.<\/p>\n<p>The Archives informed the Trump administration: &#8220;We did not find specific meeting notes clearly indicating that the President was present.&#8221; Additionally, a decision memo on commuting federal death row sentences was unmarked and lacked any version showing Biden&#8217;s approval.<\/p>\n<p>On December 10, 2024, White House Counsel Edward Siskel sent a draft memo urging Biden to use his clemency power to commute life sentences without parole for 37 individuals whom current charging standards would exclude from death penalty eligibility today. The memo offered options such as Approve, Approve as Amended, Reject or Discuss.<\/p>\n<p>While all commutations were signed off on eventually, no finalized memo confirming Biden&#8217;s explicit approval was found by the National Archives.<\/p>\n<p>This issue remains unresolved despite Biden leaving office. The Trump administration had promised accountability during last year&#8217;s campaign; although not all promises have been fulfilled yet investigating autopen usage could lead to justice.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, while searching for proof of Biden&#8217;s involvement in pardons process at National Archives they discovered he appeared absent altogether. On Thursday,the New York Post revealed communications showing that Biden did not personally review inmate warrants before granting clemency.<\/p>\n<p>The Post noted there is little evidence that on January 16th evening,Biden authorized thousands of clemency grants himself &#8211; raising questions about how many White House aides might be under scrutiny now.<\/p>\n<p>All indications suggest a small group exercised presidential powers while Americans were led to believe an elderly man was making decisions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Let me know if you want it shortened further or adjusted!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2482910,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Joe-Biden-5.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[40510,49810,48055,60352,36160],"class_list":["post-2482909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-biden-presidency","tag-government-records","tag-national-archives","tag-new-evidence","tag-political-controversy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Joe-Biden-5.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2482909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2482909"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2482909\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2482913,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2482909\/revisions\/2482913"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2482910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2482909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2482909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2482909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
