President-elect Trump Reacts to President Biden’s Surprise Decision to Pardon Hunter Biden
President-elect Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday night to express his shock and disapproval of President Biden’s unexpected decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. The move by Biden, which he had previously claimed he would not make, left many across the country surprised and questioning the motives behind the pardon.
In his post, Trump raised concerns about the fairness of Biden’s decision, suggesting that the pardon should have also included the January 6 protesters who have been imprisoned for years. He called the pardon an “abuse and miscarriage of justice” and criticized the Biden administration for what he perceived as selective prosecution.
Trump’s incoming White House communications chief, Steven Cheung, echoed these sentiments in a statement to Fox News, condemning the weaponization of the justice system by the Democrat-controlled DOJ and other radical prosecutors. Cheung emphasized the need for due process to be restored for all Americans, a task he believed President Trump would undertake upon his return to the White House.
Earlier on Sunday, President Biden had defended his decision to pardon Hunter, accusing Republicans of unfair treatment and claiming that his son had been “selectively and unfairly prosecuted.” Hunter Biden had been convicted of felony firearm offenses and pleaded guilty to multiple felony tax offenses earlier this year.
In his statement, President Biden cited Hunter’s battle with substance abuse and emphasized the challenges his son had faced, including attacks and selective prosecution. He appealed to Americans to understand his decision as a father and a President, expressing his frustration with the relentless attacks on his family.
Despite his previous statements about not interfering with the Justice Department’s decision-making, President Biden ultimately decided to pardon Hunter in light of the circumstances surrounding his son’s legal troubles. The President’s decision sparked a wave of controversy and speculation about the motivations behind the pardon.
President Trump, who had previously expressed sympathy for Hunter Biden’s situation, was taken aback by Biden’s decision to pardon his son. Trump had refrained from overtly involving himself in Hunter’s cases, but he had predicted that President Biden would ultimately pardon his son.
As the political landscape continues to shift and evolve, the pardon of Hunter Biden has raised questions about the fairness and integrity of the justice system. Both supporters and critics of the Biden administration are closely watching how this decision will impact the future of American politics and the pursuit of justice.
