Speaker of the House Mike Johnson released a statement on X on Monday reacting to President Biden’s pardon of embattled son Hunter Biden.
Johnson says the Biden family has almost “irreparably damaged” the justice system.
“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!”
