president Donald Trump He stopped by Hannity on Wednesday to complain about the former president Joe BidenPardon decision Many of his family members and enemies of Trump During his last days in office. Trump was careful to note that one notable name was not on Biden’s list at the last minute: Joseph Robinette Biden himself.
“This guy was going around giving everyone a pardon,” said Trump, who had just issued a mass pardon. 1,500 accused in the January 6 riots. “The funny thing, and maybe the sad thing, is that he didn’t pardon himself. And if you look at it, it’s all about him.”
In the final weeks of his presidency, Biden fired his pardon pen. The hiring spree began before Issuing amnesty To protect his son Hunter. The former president’s eldest surviving son has been the target of prosecution for years. In a statement about his decision to pardon Hunter, Joe Biden said he felt his son was being unfairly prosecuted by right-wing forces.
“From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere in the decision-making process at the Department of Justice, and I kept my word even as I watched my son being selectively and unfairly prosecuted,” Biden wrote. “Without aggravating factors such as use in a crime, multiple purchases, or purchasing a gun as a casual purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on criminal charges solely because of how the gun form was filled out… Hunter would clearly have been treated differently.”
Just before leaving office, Biden pardoned several members of his family, as well as Trump targets such as Liz Cheney and General Mark Milley.
“I can do nothing in good conscience,” Biden said in a statement. “Even when individuals have done nothing wrong — and in fact did the right thing — and will ultimately be exonerated, a mere investigation or prosecution can be irreparable.” Damage to reputation and finances.”
Biden has not pardoned himself — and it is not clear whether he could be tried at all under the newly created Supreme Court ruling The principle of presidential immunity – But Trump associates are still talking about the “Biden crime family” in statements to the press.
“For us, this probably proves it,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said. “The suspicion is that, you know, they call it the Biden crime family.” He said on Wednesday. “If they’re not from the crime family, why do they need a pardon? Right?”
On the right-wing news channel Real America’s Voice, Rep. D. Marjorie Taylor Greene,r-ja, He said Biden was “guilty of some of the worst crimes committed by any president…in the history of our nation,” adding that Biden’s family members “belong in prison.”
