Biden Considers Commuting Sentences of 40 Federal Death Row Inmates to Life Without Parole, Amid Trump's Execution Plans
Dec 20, 2024, 11:44 PM

The decision could potentially frustrate former President Donald Trump's plans to resume federal executions, as he had overseen 13 executions during his final months in office.
