Biden clemency spree began secretly last month with Chinese nationals in espionage, child porn cases
The three late-November commutations of prison sentences were part of a prisoner exchange with China, Just the News has learned.
Joe Biden’s clemency spree began secretly in late November when he commuted the prison sentences of three Chinese nationals convicted in espionage, child pornography, and fraud case just a few days before issuing a controversial pardon to his son Hunter.
The commutations for Yanjun Xu, Ji Chaoqun, and Jin Shanlin were dated Nov. 22 but escaped much public notice until Thursday when the 46th president issued the largest single-day batch of pardons and commutations in modern American history -- more than 1,500 in all that stirred controversy on social media and puzzlement inside Congress.
Officials told Just the News the clemency for the three Chinese nationals were part of a Thanksgiving holiday prisoner swap with communist China for three American’s wrongfully detained there.
The Chinese government reciprocated by releasing Americans Mark Swidan, Kai Li, and John Leung, in an exchange announced the day after Thanksgiving. [more]
