“Miscarriage Of Justice”: Donald Trump Slams Joe Biden For Pardoning Son
Donald Trump has publicly criticized President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, describing it as a “miscarriage of justice.” In a post on Truth Social, Trump questioned whether the pardon also extended to those imprisoned for their involvement in the January 6 Capitol riots, whom he referred to as “J-6 Hostages”—a term he and his supporters use to describe individuals convicted in connection with the events of that day.
Hunter Biden was pardoned just days before he was set to be sentenced for federal felony convictions related to gun possession and tax evasion. In June, he was found guilty of lying on a gun purchase form and faced significant prison time for both charges, which included three felony counts for firearm-related offenses and nine tax-related felonies. Trump’s remarks highlight the ongoing political tensions surrounding the Biden administration and its handling of Hunter’s legal issues.
Biden defended his decision by stating that Hunter had been “selectively and unfairly prosecuted,” asserting that similar cases typically do not result in felony charges. He emphasized that political motivations influenced the legal actions against his son, leading him to grant the pardon as an act of familial support amidst what he described as a politically charged prosecution.
The pardon has sparked considerable debate, especially given Biden’s earlier stance against interfering with the justice system regarding his son’s legal troubles. This move marks a significant shift in Biden’s approach, raising questions about the implications of a president pardoning a family member facing serious charges.
