PR Log
December 19, 2024 – The Weldon Project and the Academy for Justice (A4J) celebrate the introduction of the Weldon Angelos Presidential Pardon Expungements Act (H.R. 10248), a bipartisan effort aimed at bridging the gap between presidential pardons and true second chances. The bill is particularly timely given recent clemency developments – involving both the current administration and the incoming one – which have kindled public interest in longstanding concerns about the limits of presidential pardons and the role for congressional legislation.
