Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, calling it a “miscarriage of justice.” Trump questioned whether the pardon would extend to individuals detained in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot, who have been imprisoned for years. The pardon covers Hunter Biden’s felony convictions for tax evasion and purchasing a gun while lying about drug use. The move, which follows a previous denial by Biden, has sparked a heated debate, particularly as Biden had ruled out such a decision earlier. Trump’s comments emphasize the political nature of the pardon and highlight ongoing concerns about the legal implications of the January 6 riot.
