Trump slams Joe Biden for pardoning son Hunter, calls it ‘abuse and miscarriage of Justice’
US President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday (Dec 1) slammed President Joe Biden for pardoning his son Hunter Biden who was awaiting sentencing on federal charges related to tax evasion and the illegal purchase of a firearm.Trump, who has pledged he would pardon his supporters who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a bid to overturn the 2020 presidential election loss, called Biden’s pardon an “abuse and miscarriage of Justice”.Trump
Referring to the January 6 protestors in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump asked: “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!” he added.
Joe Biden’s pardon
On Sunday, the US president granted a full and unconditional pardon for his son, Hunter Biden. In a statement, he claimed that Hunter was targeted because of who his father was.
“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.”Trump
“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,” he said.
“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,” he added.Trump

President Biden did the right thing by pardoning his son, Hunter. The Trump Administration would have used the Justice Department to prosecute their political opponents.
