Hunter Biden Speaks Out on His Pardon for First Time Since Trump’s Bombshell Indictments

Former first son Hunter Biden is speaking out about the pardon he received for the first time since President Donald Trump’s round of enemies-list indictments.

Then-President Joe Biden stunned the political media world last December when he announced he was pardoning his son, writing that Hunter “was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong.”

The pardon was greeted with widespread criticism from the media, including both critics and some allies, as well as from Trump. But the past several weeks have seen Trump make good on his campaign threats/promises of retribution with a trio of bombshell indictments of political foes.

Hunter Biden sat down for a rare interview on Substack this week, during which he spoke about his pardon for the first time sine those indictments — saying he would have been the “easiest target” without the pardon protection:

TOMMY CHRISTOPHER: What are your thoughts on those? First of all, what are your thoughts on the indictments and then as it relates to your pardon?

HUNTER BIDEN: Well, look, I think that, and I’ve said this before, is that my dad would not have pardoned me if President Trump had not won, and the reason that he would not have pardoned me is because I was certain that in a normal circumstance of the appeals.

…Donald Trump went and changed everything. And it changed everything, and I don’t think that I need to make much of an argument about why it changed everything.

And you cited just three examples that just all happened within the past couple of weeks. And I don’t– I don’t think he’s even close to being finished, with the, with his revenge tour and his absolute obsession with my dad.

I think would have made me like a, you know, kind of the easiest, easiest target to just to intimidate and to not just impact me, but impact my entire family into, into silence in a way that at least he is not, it’s not as easy for him to do. Me being pardoned.

And I, and you know, tell you what, I realize how privileged I am. I realize how lucky I am, I realize that I got something that almost no one would have gotten.

But I’m incredibly grateful for it and I have to say that I don’t think that it requires me to make much of a detailed argument for why it was the right thing to do, at least from my dad, from his perspective.
