The elder Biden issued a statement when he gave a sweeping pardon to his son, Hunter, that read, “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter's cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong.”
Fox's Madeleine Rivera reports that Special Counsel David Weiss, who was leading Hunter's prosecution, disagrees.
“Weiss goes on to say there was not, and never has been, any evidence of vindictive or selective prosecution,” Rivera said.
But AFR's Jenna Ellis tells the Today's Issues crew that Hunter Biden’s pardon is a stunning admission from the president.
“The sitting president is saying that his own DOJ is weaponized, and so clearly that it would have infected the DOJ's activities against Trump as well.”
Trump has pledged to stop the weaponization of the Justice Department and its FBI, and to hold accountable those who used it to go after the President-elect and other conservatives. That’s a major reason he has nominated Kash Patel to lead the FBI.

“I'd shut down the FBI Hoover building on Day One and reopen it the next day as a museum of the Deep State, and I'd take the 7,000 employees that work in that building and send them across America to chase down criminals. Go be cops.”
And Patel says he won't stop there.
“We're going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden break presidential elections. We're going to come after you, whether it's criminal or civil, we'll figure that out, but yeah, we're putting you all on notice.”
