WASHINGTON: US President-elect Donald Trump said on Tuesday he will direct his Justice Department to “vigorously pursue” the death penalty to protect Americans from “violent rapists, murderers, and monsters” when he takes power on Jan 20.
Trump hit out at President Joe Biden for commuting the sentences of almost every American federal prisoner on death row. “Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country,” Trump posted on Truth Social, his social media platform.
