President Donald Trump pardoned six people whom he says were “persecuted by the Biden Administration,” he announced on Friday afternoon.
“It is my Great Honor to have just signed Pardons for six people who were persecuted by the Biden Administration, and were in, or being sent to, prison, for ‘fixing their car.’ While I know this sounds ridiculous, it is nevertheless a fact, and part of the Weaponization and Stupidity that our Country had to endure during four long years of Sleepy Joe Biden,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump’s announcement did not detail who the six pardoned individuals were, but the announcement came after reports from outlets such as CBS News that he was considering granting clemency to several high-profile people, including Sean “Diddy” Combs. Combs is serving a 50-month prison sentence for prostitution-related charges in New Jersey.
The Washington Examiner contacted the White House for comment.
