The hosts of Fox & Friends Weekend expressed concern over President Joe Biden’s decision to commute the sentence of Michael T.

Conahan, a former Pennsylvania judge involved in the notorious “kids for cash” scandal. Conahan, who was among 1,500 individuals granted sentence commutations by the president this week, played a central role in a scheme that shocked the nation, accepting kickbacks from private prisons in exchange for sentencing juveniles to detention facilities.

In addition to the commutations, Biden also issued 39 pardons to non-violent offenders. However, Conahan’s case has sparked widespread outrage due to the nature of his crimes, which exploited vulnerable youth and undermined the justice system.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, publicly criticized Biden’s decision regarding Conahan, stating at a recent event that the president was “absolutely wrong” in this particular case. The backlash underscores the lingering anger over the scandal, which devastated countless families and highlighted corruption in the judicial system.
