President Joe Biden has the power to pardon criminals and has utilized this authority for numerous convicted individuals.
Recently, it was discovered that Biden’s great-great-grandfather, Moses J. Robinette, was involved in a court-martial case during the Civil War.
Robinette, a civilian employee of the Union Army, got into a fight, leading to his arrest and conviction.

“I had no malice towards Mr. Alexander before or since. He grabbed me and possibly might have injured me seriously had I not resorted to the means that I did,” Robinette reportedly said.
However, he was ultimately pardoned by President Abraham Lincoln in 1864.
Despite his tumultuous past, Robinette’s legacy is now tied to his descendant, President Joe Biden.
