In a dramatic political response to President Joe Biden’s unexpected pardon of his son Hunter, President-elect Donald Trump has raised questions about potential pardons for January 6 defendants, highlighting the ongoing tensions surrounding recent legal developments.
Trump took to social media Sunday night to challenge the presidential pardon, asking whether Biden’s clemency for Hunter would extend to those arrested during the January 6 Capitol protests.
“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!” Trump wrote.
Fox News commentator Charlie Hurt also made the linkage.
“I think he should at least commute the sentences of all of them and pardoned every single one that was obviously just following the person in front of them wandering through the capital,” Hurt recently said, as outlined by Mediaite.
