Calls mount for Biden to spare federal death row inmates before Trump retakes office

40 federal death row inmates are at risk of imminent execution when Donald Trump returns to the White House .

Lawyers for many of the condemned men are appealing to the president through clemency channels, urging him to commute their death sentences to life behind bars.

Trump signaled he will authorize an execution spree of all inmates sentenced to death by the US government as one of his first acts after his inauguration on 20 January .

Lawyers for several of the condemned inmates say that the Office of the Pardon Attorney , the unit within the justice department which handles clemency petitions, has so far been responsive to their requests.

That has raised hopes that commutations might be on the table.

But the final decision rests solely with Biden , and some or none of the men will depend on him alone.
