Although speculation had been building that Joe Biden might pardon his son, Hunter, before the end of the current term, when it became official this week the news sent shockwaves across D.C. and beyond. One prominent figure who was particularly outspoken was President Donald Trump, who addressed the move in a social media post on Sunday. As The Hill reported: President-elect Trump called President Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, “an abuse and miscarriage of justice” Sunday. “Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!” the president-elect said in a post on Truth Social, seemingly referring to rioters who have been accused of storming the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack. Biden announced earlier Sunday that he signed his son’s pardon and argued in a statement that the charges that his son had faced came about due to political reasons. “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong,” Biden said in a statement. “There has been an effort to break Hunter — who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution,” he added. “In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me — and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.” Biden’s previous assertion that he would not pardon his son has come back to haunt him in the form of condemnatory social media posts: One of the best supercuts ever.

According to the New York Post: Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis blasted President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter — saying Sunday that Biden “put his family ahead of the country” and that the move would “tarnish his reputation.” The stinging rebuke from the possible 2028 presidential contender came as Biden, 82, prepared to fly to Angola for an official visit — limiting his exposure to questions about the pardon. “While as a father I certainly understand President @JoeBiden’s natural desire to help his son by pardoning him, I am disappointed that he put his family ahead of the country,” Polis, 49, tweeted. “This is a bad precedent that could be abused by later Presidents and will sadly tarnish his reputation. When you become President, your role is Pater familias of the nation.” Here’s some additional coverage of the development:

Joe Biden granted a pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, despite previously saying he would not sign a pardon for him. “From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,” Biden wrote. “Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form,” he continued. “It is clear that Hunter was treated differently,” he added. “Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision,” the statement concluded. Read the full statement: If I were Biden, I'd pardon my son, too. I mean, come on. He has the power to keep his own son out of jail. Of course he's going to do it. 100% guilty, obviously. pic.twitter.com/8wAUGVjPP3 — Max (@MaxNordau) December 2, 2024 A closer look: President Trump responded by asking if the pardon for Hunter Biden included the J-6 hostages. “Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!” Trump said. ( @realDonaldTrump – Truth Social Post )( Donald J.

Trump TRUTH POSTS (@TruthTrumpPosts) December 2, 2024 From The Hill: Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement obtained by The Hill’s sister network NewsNation that “failed witch hunts against President Trump have proven that the Democrat-controlled [Department of Justice] and other radical prosecutors are guilty of weaponizing the justice system.” “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,” Cheung added. The president’s fellow Republicans in Congress reacted with similar disdain to Biden’s move to pardon his son. As noted, the White House previously said Biden would not grant a pardon for his son.

EVERYTHING THIS ADMINISTRATION DOES IS A LIE! pic.twitter.com/Be5GI3WyKq — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) December 2, 2024 Per ABC News: In pardoning his son, President Biden spared Hunter the possibility of significant prison time stemming from convictions in two federal cases brought by Special Counsel David Weiss. Over the summer, a jury found Hunter Biden guilty on three felony counts related to his purchase and possession of a firearm while addicted to drugs. And in September, he agreed to plead guilty to nine tax-related charges, including three felonies, on the eve of what was expected to be a lengthy and grueling trial. For the tax charges, Hunter Biden faced up to 17 years in federal prison and $1.35 million in fines. His gun-related conviction carried a potential of up to 25 years in prison. He was scheduled to face sentencing for both cases in the coming weeks – on Dec. 12 on the gun-related charges in Delaware, and Dec. 16 on the tax charges in California. Trump’s reaction to President Biden’s decision to pardon his son comes weeks after the two met in the Oval Office to call for a “smooth” transfer of power when Trump returns to the White House in January.
