Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, a leading Republican who has investigated the Biden family, said President-elect Trump should not pardon Hunter Biden for his crimes.
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., says President-elect Trump should not offer Hunter Biden a pardon after Biden pleaded guilty to federal tax charges in September. 'I don't think he should pardon Hunter,' Johnson said in an interview on NewsNation's 'Dan Abrams Live.' 'I think we need to be very careful about having a dual system of justice where the powerful, or the sons and daughters of the powerful get off scot-free,' he said. Johnson and Sen.
Prosecutors also allege the tax returns Hunter ultimately did file falsely claimed that things like prostitutes, strip club visits, porn website subscriptions and other personal expenses were actually deductible business expenses. The aim, according to the indictment, was to 'evade assessment of taxes to reduce the substantial tax liabilities' that Hunter faced.
We’ve been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands, which is no,' she said. Trump himself floated the idea of a pardon or commuted sentence for Biden in a radio interview with Hugh Hewitt in October. Will you pardon Hunter Biden,' Hewitt asked the former and future president on Oct. 24. 'I wouldn't take it off the books,' Trump replied. 'See, unlike Joe Biden, despite what they’ve done to me, where they’ve gone after me so viciously, despite what, and Hunter’s a bad boy. There’s no question about it. He’s been a bad boy. All you had to do is see the laptop from hell. But I happen to think it’s very bad for our country.
