Trump Condemns Biden’s Pardon of Son Hunter as ‘Abuse of Justice’

President-elect Donald Trump has strongly 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 would extend to the January 6 Capitol rioters, referring to them as “J-6 Hostages,” and criticized what he sees as double standards in the justice system.

Hunter Biden, 54, faced convictions earlier this year for falsifying a federal firearm application by concealing his narcotic addiction, illegally purchasing a gun, and committing tax-related violations. Despite these charges, Biden granted his son clemency, stating that the prosecution was unduly harsh due to Hunter’s familial ties.

“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Biden said, emphasizing that his administration did not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making. He argued that cases involving similar charges typically result in non-criminal resolutions, especially when mitigating factors, such as addiction recovery and repayment of overdue taxes, are present. Biden maintained that his son was selectively targeted, resulting in a disproportionately severe trial.

The pardon has reignited debates over justice, privilege, and accountability, polarizing public opinion and raising questions about the impartiality of legal proceedings in politically sensitive cases.
