Fetterman says pardons to both Trump and Hunter Biden would be 'appropriate'

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) argued President Joe Biden issuing a pardon to both his son, Hunter Biden, and President-elect Donald Trump would be the “appropriate” thing to do, underscoring a need to prevent the nation’s justice system from becoming weaponized.

Fetterman was asked about the bipartisan division the president’s pardon of his son has created, to which he argued it was “undeniable” how Hunter Biden’s legal battle was “politically motivated.” However, he also stated the same could be said about Trump’s conviction in New York, in which the president-elect was found guilty in a 34-count criminal case in May.
