Trump Commutes Galanis Sentence, Pardons Caldwell

President Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of Jason Galanis, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, who was serving a 14-year sentence for defrauding investors and a Native American tribal entity. Galanis had cooperated with Republican investigations into the Biden family's business dealings. Trump has also issued a full pardon to Thomas Caldwell, a Navy veteran involved with the January 6 insurrection, who was acquitted of seditious conspiracy but convicted of evidence tampering. This action is part of a broader initiative by Trump to pardon or commute sentences linked to allies and figures involved in controversies surrounding his political adversaries. The commutations and pardons are seen as a continuation of Trump’s use of clemency to address perceived injustices in the justice system and highlighting grievances against his opponents.
