A spokesman for President-elect Donald Trump expressed his distaste for President Joe Biden‘s decision to commute the sentences of 37 prisoners on federal death row.

“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 communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement.
