White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made waves on Monday by claiming that President Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter was a result of what she termed “war politics.” According to Jean-Pierre, Hunter’s prosecution on gun and tax fraud charges was politically motivated, prompting the president to intervene.
The contentious issue was raised during a press briefing aboard Air Force One, where Jean-Pierre faced tough questions from journalists following President Biden’s pardon of Hunter. The press secretary insisted that the Justice Department is not influenced by political bias, a direct response to claims made by former President Donald Trump.
“The president took an action because of how politically infected these cases were,” Jean-Pierre told reporters, defending Biden’s decision in the face of skepticism.
The controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s legal troubles and subsequent pardon continues to ignite heated debate across political circles. Jean-Pierre’s assertion of “war politics” as a primary factor behind the pardon adds a new layer of complexity to an already polarizing issue.
