JOE BIDEN..I WILL NOT PARDON MY SON, GUESS WHAT ? HE LIED HUNTER BIDEN JUST WAS PARDONED #thatpart

Reactions started coming through shortly after the announcement on Sunday evening that President Joe Biden had pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, for his tax evasion and federal gun charges.

A reversal for the president, the pardon came about two weeks before his son was scheduled for sentencing in both cases: on Dec. 12 on the gun-related charges in Delaware, and on Dec. 16 on the tax charges in California.

Hunter Biden first released a statement directly after the pardon was issued, saying in part, "I will never take the clemency I have been given today for granted and will devote the life I have rebuilt to helping those who are still sick and suffering.”

Shortly afterward, his sister, Ashley Biden, posted to her stories on Instagram: “Thank you, Dad! What they have tried to do to my brother is cruel + politically motivated. Period. Proud Sister + Daughter!”

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, Republican of Kentucky, said President Biden "lied from start to finish" about the circumstances surrounding his son's case.

In a statement on Sunday, he said, "Joe Biden 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."

"The charges Hunter faced were just the tip of the iceberg in the blatant corruption that President Biden and the Biden Crime Family have lied about to the American people," he added. "It’s unfortunate that, rather than come clean about their decades of wrongdoing, President Biden and his family continue to do everything they can to avoid accountability."

And Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan posted on X: “Democrats said there was nothing to our impeachment inquiry. If that’s the case, why did Joe Biden just issue Hunter Biden a pardon for the very things we were inquiring about?”
