President Biden is facing backlash from fellow Democrats over his decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. The New York Times reports that Biden is angry at those who have spoken out against the pardon.
President Biden is reportedly angry at several Democratic lawmakers who have spoken out against him pardoning his son, Hunter Biden , ahead of his December sentencing. The New York Times reported Tuesday that some people close to the president have described him as 'moody' as he approaches the end of his presidency. The report said that the president is 'currently angry' at fellow Democrats denouncing his pardon, citing someone who spent time with Biden recently.
Several Democrats have criticized the pardon, as well as the president's statement blasting the justice system after he had repeatedly promised he wouldn't issue a pardon for his son. The Times also reported that as Biden nears the end of his term, he barely engages with reporters and his messaging is 'targeted and restrained.' Biden briefly spoke to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, offering his first public comment on the mysterious drone sightings across the East Coast. The president said there was 'nothing nefarious' about the drones, according to reports. Biden issued a pardon for Hunter on Dec. 1 and said in a statement, 'From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.' The president repeatedly made a point throughout his time in office to say that he respected the results of the DOJ investigation against his son. 'While as a father I certainly understand natural desire to help his son by pardoning him, I am disappointed that he put his family ahead of the country. This is a bad precedent that could be abused by later Presidents and will sadly tarnish his reputation,' Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a lengthy statement. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Min
