President-elect Donald Trump's transition team slammed President Joe Biden on Monday following his decision to commute the sentences for 37 out of 40 federal inmates on death row to life in prison without parole.
"These are among the worst killers in the world and this abhorrent decision by Joe Biden is a slap in the face to the victims, their families, and their loved ones," Trump's communications director, Steven Cheung, wrote in a news release on behalf of the transition team.
"President Trump stands for the rule of law, which will return when he is back in the White House after he was elected with a massive mandate from the American people."
