Sunday evening, Congressman Rudy Yakym (IN-02) issued the following statement on President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter:
"President Biden knew he was going to pardon Hunter the minute he was convicted. And then he knowingly and repeatedly lied about it for months before the election for political gain.
"Today’s pardon shows that every single baseless charge and cliché Left uttered against President Trump - from 'no one is above the law' to 'Trump is a threat to judicial independence' was a lie and a distraction from their failed record on open borders and the economy. These are the lies and politics as usual that Americans are sick and tired of and that they elected President Trump to change.
"In short, Joe Biden lied - like he always has - and this is just the sad, predictable, and fitting end to the failures of the past four years. President Trump is going to end the real weaponization of the justice system and Make America Great Again."
