Even though he promised not to do it, outgoing President Biden is pardoning his son Hunter, which President-elect Trump is calling "shocking." Despite being convicted for tax evasion and illegally purchasing a gun, Hunter is getting off scot-free thanks to his father, which means he will not have to participate in his sentencing hearings that were scheduled for later this month. According to Biden, it is a "miscarriage of justice" for Hunter to be held accountable for his crimes like the courts were trying to do. The only reason the criminal justice system even went after Hunter is because he was "singled out" for being a member of his crime family, the lame-duck president stated, going back on his word. A statement from the White House explains that Biden's pardoning of Hunter applies to all offenses that were or may have been committed between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2024. This time period covers what Republicans have described as Hunter's actions as "a bagman" who facilitated his father's illicit business dealings with China and Ukraine. Both Biden and his son Hunter deny any and all wrongdoing, claiming they are completely innocent and are merely victims of a longstanding Republican witch hunt against him and his family.

Trump reels at Hunter's pardoning

After learning of the news, President-elect Trump had his spokesman, Steven Cheung, chime in with a statement about how Washington has once again been weaponized for political purposes. "The failed witch hunts against President Trump have proven that the Democrat-controlled DOJ and other radical prosecutors are guilty of weaponizing the justice system," Cheung said. "That system of justice must be fixed and due process must be restored for all Americans, which is exactly what President Trump will do as he returns to the White House with an overwhelming mandate from the American people." Trump then proceeded to liken what Biden just did for Hunter to what the deep state did to Trump's own supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, when they reportedly 'stormed' the U.S. Capitol and committed an "insurrection." "Does the pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years?" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "Such an abuse and miscarriage of justice!" Sen. Chuck Grassley, a career Republican, also commented on the pardoning to express that he is "shocked" by the news. "This pardon is Joe Biden's admission that Hunter is a criminal," added Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) to the chorus of outrage over Hunter's pardoning. "Joe Biden will go down as one of the most corrupt presidents in American history." Not to be left out was Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) who called Hunter's pardoning "an outrageous abuse of the rule of all – all to protect the Biden family business of selling access and influence." In a statement, the Republican-controlled House Committee on Oversight and Accountability blasted Biden for his "unprecedented abuse of power," which he called "a stain on the honor of the U.S. presidency." "The Biden crime syndicate strikes again," a commenter wrote about the disgraced Biden Crime Family. "Corrupt dad, corrupt son," wrote another. "Corruption is in blood, and genetically deep in roots." "Talk about the pot calling the kettle black," suggested another. "ALL politicians are corrupt to the core. It is a prerequisite and part of the fabric of the U.S. regime." The latest news about America's pivot from Biden to Trump can be found at Trump.news.
