Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is accusing President Biden of “irreparably” damaging the U.S. justice system on his way out the door after he granted a sweeping pardon to his son.
“President Biden insisted many times he would never pardon his own son for his serious crimes. But last night he suddenly granted a ‘Full and Unconditional Pardon’ for any and all offenses that Hunter committed for more than a decade!” Johnson said in a statement on Monday.
“Trust in our justice system has been almost irreparably damaged by the Bidens and their use and abuse of it. Real reform cannot begin soon enough!”
