Trump Grants Clemency To 5, Most Incarcerated For Drug Offenses [ link to www.npr.org (secure)] SORRY MR SNOWDEN DONALD ONLY PARDONS DRUG DEALERS Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78483298 i forgot 50% rule President Trump on Wednesday granted clemency to five people, commuting their lengthy sentences as part of his administration's pitch for criminal justice reform. Four of the five people had been in prison because of drug offenses, while the fifth had been sentenced for food stamp fraud. The five cases had been highlighted by clemency activists, including Alice Marie Johnson, who has worked with the White House on the issue, and who spoke at the Republican National Convention this summer. Johnson's own prison sentence was commuted in 2018 after she had already served 21 years on drug charges, and this summer, she was granted a full presidential pardon. Criminal justice reform is one of the Trump administration's focal points in its reelection campaign to voters, particularly to Black Americans.
