The hits keep coming for former President Joe Biden just one week after leaving The White House.
A new scandal has erupted around Biden and his final days in the Oval Office, leaving no doubt about scandal-laden presidency.
Here’s the latest on the new scandal.
During his last week in office, Biden signed a series of pardons that were billed as applying to “non-violent drug offenders.”
But according to new reports, one of the pardons executed they ended up including a drug lord who murdered an eight-year-old boy and his mother to stop them from testifying.
So, Biden's staff didn't double check the ACLU's list of "nonviolent drug offenders" and gave clemency to a drug lord in Connecticut who murdered an 8 year old boy and his mother to stop them from testifying.

According to reports, relatives of an 8-year-old boy and his mother who were murdered by a Connecticut drug gang are outraged that a man convicted in the killings was one of nearly 2,500 people whose drug-related prison sentences were commuted by former President Biden in his last days in office.
Adrian Peeler served a 20-year state prison sentence for murder conspiracy in the 1999 shootings of Leroy “B.J.” Brown and his mother, Karen Clarke, in Bridgeport — killings that shocked the city and led to improvements in state witness protection.
Prosecutors said Brown and his mother were assassinated to prevent the child from testifying in another murder case.
Peeler is now set to be released in July thanks to Biden’s efforts.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), has been the only Democrat to speak out against the pardon, saying , “Someone dropped the ball.”
The move has drawn outrage across the country as the move has gone widely unpublicized from major media outlets like CNN.
