NewsNation host Chris Cuomo argued Tuesday that President Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter gives President-elect Donald Trump ammunition to fight his own legal challenges.
In a statement announcing the pardon Sunday, Biden acknowledged that his Department of Justice (DOJ) acted in a politically motivated manner, which Trump's lawyers cited. motion The lawsuit in New York will be dismissed on Tuesday. Cuomo said on CUOMO that the pardon is a “gift” to Trump, who is already using it for his own benefit.

“It took just one day for Trump and the funky guys to grab the gift Biden gave them. Democrats saying, 'Oh, I can't support Biden's decision.' This is about principles. 'Look, everyone can protect their families, except for the cancellation freaks, but this is about so much more than that,'' Cuomo said. “This is about how Biden justified this…What Biden said here was a major confession.”
“Who among the Democrats knew that Biden was going to say that he was pardoning his son not because he was his son, not because he had to protect him, but because of political prosecution and overreach?” “Who knew? People had to know,” he continued. “People had to know how dangerous this amnesty was.”
Mr. Cuomo also speculated that Mr. Biden might pardon himself and his brother.
“You know? Because obviously what Biden is trying to do is keep all three of them out of the loopy financial investigation. That's why we're lumping together a 10-year period. No,” he said. “Usually you'll say, 'This is my son.' This is what he was convicted of. He owns it. He pleaded guilty. That's it. I'll let him go. He's my son. If you don't like it, I'll just leave.'' You understood that. Democrats might say, “No, no one is above the law.” Forget it. No one would believe that. ”
Biden's forgiveness That's because his son is “full and unconditional” and will cover any crimes he has been charged with or “may have committed or participated in” since 2014.
“Yet, he blames his actions on a corrupt system in advance. Tell me, who does he sound like? That's the answer to why Democrats lost — Because he looks like a guy who should be much worse,” Cuomo said. “And the Democrats, the guardians of the system, let it happen. You had a sitting president say, 'The Justice Department was dirty on my watch, but what happened after my son?' How do you allow that to happen? ”
“And in doing so, you have sealed our fate. You have allowed Biden to justify the exact arguments. You have allowed Trump and the Funky Collective to justify what is about to happen.” He added: “They're going to beat you to death with the bat you just handed them. They're just going to go after you because they came after you. This is why you lost. You say Trump is FOS Masu [full of shit]And we play the same game. ”
