Democratic strategist Julian Epstein says President Biden’s sweeping pardon for his son Hunter on Sunday undermines “Democrats’ self-proclaimed authority on the rule of law.”
“While people can relate to a father’s attempt to help a son, this is a tough sell to the American people and extremely bad branding for a president that most of the American people already feel has failed,” Epstein, former leading recommend for the House Judiciary Committee and previous body of workers director for the Space Executive Reform Committee, informed Fox Information Virtual. “Biden and those around him clearly misled the American people about his mental capacity for a second term.”
The White Space on Sunday night introduced that the president pardoned Hunter for any crimes the 54-year-old “has committed or may have committed” between January 2014 to December 2024.
“The sweeping nature of this pardon – an all-you-can-eat, ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card for any illegal activities since 2014 – will certainly raise more questions as it covers alleged paid to play activities in which Joe Biden himself could have been implicated, according to Republican critics,” Epstein stated.

A federal courtroom discovered Hunter in charge in June on three counts of federal gun charges, and he pleaded in charge in September in a independent federal prison tax case.
“At the very minimum, this will completely undermine the Democrats’ self-proclaimed authority on the rule of law, taxing the rich, and background checks.”
“Biden and those around him clearly misled the American people about his mental capacity for a second term. With this pardon, they now appear to have misled the American people about their moral superiority on the question of democracy and rule of law,” Epstein stated.
“Democratic politicians and nearly the entire chattering class continuously and sanctimoniously claimed that Biden would never pardon his son and showcased that virtue signaling to attack Trump.”
The White Space may just now not instantly be reached for remark.

“It is clear that Hunter was treated differently,” Biden wrote in his remark.
TRUMP PREVIOUSLY PREDICTED BIDEN WOULD PARDON SON HUNTER
“The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election. Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the courtroom – with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases,” Biden stated.

“I have admitted and taken responsibility for my mistakes during the darkest days of my addiction – mistakes that have been exploited to publicly humiliate and shame me and my family for political sport,” Hunter stated in a remark to Fox Information. “Despite all of this, I have maintained my sobriety for more than five years because of my deep faith and the unwavering love and support of my family and friends.”

“In the throes of addiction, I squandered many opportunities and advantages,” he endured. “In recovery we can be given the opportunity to make amends where possible and rebuild our lives if we never take for granted the mercy that we have been afforded. 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.”
