In President Joe Biden's waning days at the White House, he’s facing increasing pressure to act on his promise to pardon cannabis prisoners, especially after his widely criticized pardon of his son Hunter Biden.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked in a press briefing on Dec. 6 if the president is considering “blanket pardons” for government officials who are being targeted by President-elect Donald Trump as perceived enemies in order to protect them from retribution, as was previously reported by the NY Times. While Trump’s list of enemies does not (thankfully) include cannabis prisoners, Jean-Pierre said the president is reviewing next steps and "there will be more to come."
