United States President Joe Biden has signed a “full and unconditional” pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, who was convicted earlier this year of federal gun and tax crimes and was scheduled to be sentenced this month. “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Biden said, reversing his past pledge not to use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. Biden stressed that he wiped away the criminal convictions due to his son being “selectively, and unfairly” prosecuted. “In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here,” he stated. Hunter was scheduled to face sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges on December 12 and was also set to be sentenced on December 16, after pleading guilty to federal tax evasion charges. NN: Justice for all my ass.
Trump asks if Biden included Jan. 6 ‘hostages’ in pardon to Hunter
Commenting on United States President Joe Biden’s decision to grant a pardon to his son Hunter, President-elect Donald Trump wondered whether it included those who were convicted for their participation in the January 6 riots at the Capitol Building in Washington DC.
In a post on TruthSocial, Trump called those involved in the Capitol attack “hostages who have now been imprisoned for years” describing it as an “abuse and miscarriage of Justice.”
During his election campaign, Trump promised he would pardon “a large portion” of those involved in the events at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, stating that he would do so “early on” into his second term in office. NN: I wonder if i could get one of these?
