Emerging story

During an October 5, 2020 town hall with NBC’s Lester Holt, U.S. Presidential nominee Joe Biden said that “18,000 people got clemency” during the Obama/Biden administration. 

Users on social media immediately began discussing the claim. Some defended the idea behind Biden’s statement, while many were quick to point out his numbers were incorrect.
