President Biden’s announcement that he had pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, rattled the political world late Sunday.

The president argued in a press release on Sunday that the costs introduced in opposition to his son, which included three felony expenses on his buy and possession of a gun in 2018, took place as a result of political causes.

“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 mentioned.

Reactions from either side of the aisle poured in within the wake of the announcement, with Republicans expressing furor over the president’s pardon of his son.

President-elect Trump, in a publish on his Fact Social platform, known as Biden’s pardon of his son “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 mentioned, seemingly referring to rioters who’ve been accused of storming the U.S. Capitol in the course of the Jan. 6, 2021 assault.

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), mentioned in a press release posted to the social platform X on Sunday that the president “has lied from start to finish about his family’s corrupt influence peddling activities.”

“Not only has he falsely claimed that he never met with his son’s foreign business associates and that his son did nothing wrong, but he also lied when he said he would not pardon Hunter Biden,” Comer continued.

In the course of the Home GOP impeachment inquiry into the elder Biden, Comer performed a central position because the chair of the Home Oversight Committee. Nonetheless, the inquiry struggled to provide you with strong proof that the president’s household dedicated corrupt conduct and that Biden was engaged within the international enterprise dealings of his son.

The Home Oversight Committee known as the pardon a part of a sample in their very own publish.

“From the lawfare against President Trump to now the pardoning of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s unprecedented abuse of power has been a stain on the honor of the U.S. presidency,” the panel’s X account posted.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a member of the Oversight committee, in a publish on X threw the president’s phrases again at him, retweeting a publish from President Biden that mentioned merely, “No one is above the law.” Greene replied: “Come to find out, Hunter is. But who is going to pardon Joe?”

The Home Judiciary Committee, which has additionally investigated the Biden household, cited the president’s and White Home press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s insistence that Hunter Biden wouldn’t be pardoned, and mentioned in a publish, “You’ve been lied to over and over again.”

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chair of the Home Judiciary Committee, prompt the pardon solely proved a necessity for his panel’s impeachment investigation of President Biden.

Republicans within the higher chamber additionally expressed displeasure with the president’s transfer to pardon his son.

“I’m shocked Pres Biden pardoned his son Hunter bc he said many many times he wouldn’t & I believed him Shame on me,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) mentioned in a publish on X.

Former Legal professional Normal Eric Holder, who served beneath former President Obama, additionally weighed in on Hunter Biden’s case and the pardon, saying on X that “No [U.S. attorney] would have charged this case given the underlying facts.”

“After a 5 year investigation the facts as discovered only made that clear. Had his name been Joe Smith the resolution would have been – fundamentally and more fairly – a declination. Pardon warranted,” he added.

Some Democrats, nonetheless, weren’t proud of the president’s pardoning of his son. 

Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) disagreed with the president’s motion. 

“I respect President Biden, but I think he got this one wrong. This wasn’t a politically-motivated prosecution. Hunter committed felonies, and was convicted by a jury of his peers,” he posted on social media.

The Hill has reached out to the White Home and the Justice Division for remark.
