‘Self-serving slap in the face’: US Sen. Britt releases statement after President Biden pardons son Hunter
WASHINGTON, DC (WBRC) - United States Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) released a statement after President Joe Biden pardoned his son Robert Hunter Biden Sunday night.
President Biden previously announced he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence after Hunter Biden’s convictions in two cases in Delaware and California involving felony gun and federal tax charges.
The president’s pardon not only includes Hunter Biden’s convictions in the two federal cases, but it also pardons him from “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from Jan. 1, 2014 through Dec. 1, 2024.”
Senator Britt said the decision to pardon Hunter Biden, 53, was like a slap in the face to the people of our country. On Monday, Senator Britt released the following statement:
Shortly after the announcement of Hunter Biden’s pardoning, President-elect Donald Trump also made a statement, calling the decision a “miscarriage of justice.”
Hunter Biden was convicted of three separate felony charges related to his purchase of a gun and he previously pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion charges. Hunter Biden was facing a maximum of 17 years in prison.
