  • A claim that Biden pardoned two Chinese spies and a CCP official's relative in a prisoner swap sparked controversy over his final round of pardons.

The article from MSN, titled "Fact Check: Did President Joe Biden Pardon Chinese Spies?", addresses a claim circulating on social media that President Joe Biden pardoned Chinese spies. The fact-checking reveals that this claim is false. The confusion stems from Biden's decision to commute the sentences of 160 individuals for non-violent drug offenses on December 22, 2023, as part of his clemency actions. None of these individuals were convicted of espionage or related to spying for China. The article clarifies that the list of those granted clemency does not include anyone charged with spying or any national security crimes, debunking the misinformation. The fact check was conducted by USA TODAY, which confirmed that the narrative about Biden pardoning Chinese spies is baseless.
