Molly Jong Fast, a MSNBC contributor, was left speechless by the news that President Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, saying she needed some time to process it.
Liberal MSNBC contributor Molly Jong-Fast was speechless on Sunday after hearing that President Biden would pardon his son Hunter Biden, admitting she had no response and needed time to 'process' the news. 'I just want to alert you all to some breaking news that we’re getting. NBC is reporting that President Biden is expected to pardon his son, Hunter Biden,' MSNBC guest host Melissa Murray said during a discussion.
In reversing his earlier promise, President Biden suggested his son's prosecution had been unfairly conducted because of his famous name. 'Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,' Biden 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.
We’ve been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands, which is no,' she told reporters. Hunter Biden had been scheduled to be sentenced next week for his conviction on federal gun charges, as well as sentenced on Dec. 16 on a separate guilty plea for federal tax evasion, NBC News reported.
