‘It All Had to Do With Him’: Trump Accuses Biden of Corruption, Points Out ‘He Didn’t Give Himself a Pardon’

President Donald Trump told Fox News’s Sean Hannity that the “funny thing, maybe the sad thing” was that former President Joe Biden didn’t pardon himself, while vaguely adding “it all had to do with him.”

The clip was a preview of Hannity’s pre-recorded interview with Trump, which will air tonight.

Fox’s White House correspondent Peter Doocy introduced the preview in the afternoon saying, “Our first look at his first television interview just released.”

“Joe Biden ran and said he would never do preemptive pardons. It was an issue that came up when you were leaving your first time,” Hannity says in the clip, to which Trump replies:

Sure, he thought he heard that I was going to do I didn’t want to do it. I was given the option. They said, Sir, would you like to pardon everybody, including yourself? I said, I’m not going to pardon anybody. We didn’t do anything wrong. And we had people that suffered. They’re incredible patriots.

We had people that suffered. You had [Steve] Bannon put in jail. You had Peter Navarro put in jail. You had people that suffered and far worse than that. They’ve lost their fortunes. They’ve lost their whatever, their nest egg, paying it to lawyers and those people. And people said, do it. And they wouldn’t have even taken most of those people. They wouldn’t have even taken a pardon.

This guy went around giving everybody pardons. And you know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing is he didn’t give himself a part. And, if you look at it, it all had to do with him.

Trump appeared to be referring to the long-held GOP-promoted allegation that Biden engaged in a large-scale scheme to sell influence. The House Republicans opened an impeachment inquiry into Biden, but never made public any evidence directly linking the ex-president to his son Hunter’s highly controversial overseas business dealings.
