President Joe Biden has issued six full pardons to individuals who have completed their sentences and become active in their communities since their release. These pardons include five people convicted of drug or alcohol offenses, and one woman convicted of murdering a husband she said abused her. The White House said Biden was a believer in second chances and that those he pardoned had “demonstrated a commitment to improving their communities and the lives of those around them.” This is the first of many pardons Biden has issued, including a wide-ranging pardon for all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession.

Donald Trump's federal tax returns from the past six years have been released, showing he paid very little in federal income taxes due to claiming huge losses that helped limit his tax bill. The documents, published by the House Ways and Means Committee, revealed Trump reported millions in negative income and paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017. Trump had claimed huge net operating losses which greatly reduced or wiped out his annual income tax liability.
