President Biden used his clemency power today, his last full day of presidency, to pardon 5 individuals, and commute the sentences of 2 others. One of those pardons went to Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates Don Scott.

Virginia House Speaker Don Scott was pardoned Sunday by President Joe Biden for a felony drug conviction Scott received in 1994 while he was a law school student.

President Joe Biden pardons five people and commutes the sentence of two others who "made significant contributions to improving their communities."
