NBC News’ Vaughn Hillyard reports on President-elect Trump’s legal team urging Judge Juan Merchan to dismiss the New York City hush money case citing Hunter Biden’s pardon.
Democratic Sen. John Fetterman said Thursday that the federal cases against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and the New York state hush money case against President-elect Donald Trump were both “politically motivated” and deserving of pardons. Biden issued a broad pardon for his son Hunter over the weekend.
“I’m saying that that we cannot allow our nation to become — our institutions to be weaponized against our political enemy or a political side,” he said. “It’s crazy.” Fetterman compared it to a prosecutor in a red state trying to put former President Barack Obama “on trial for some simple, crazy kind of case.” Fetterman is only one of a few Democratic senators to have publicly commented on Biden’s pardon for his son, following criticism from Sens. Michael Bennet and Gary Peters.
