According to the report of Mehr news agency, quoted by Sputnikoff, the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in response to US President Joe Biden’s action to pardon his son, declared that this is a “caricature of democracy”.

Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States, responded to the action of the current president of the United States, Joe Biden, to pardon his son, declaring that it is “an abuse (of power) and a miscarriage of justice.”

By publishing a message in the virtual space, he wrote: “Does Joe’s amnesty for Hunter include the January 6 hostages who are now in prison for years?” Abuse and violation of justice!”

Trump is referring to his supporters who attacked the US Congress building on January 6, 2021 in protest against the election of “Joe Biden” in the US presidential election, and during this attack US police forces killed some and arrested some.

Joe Biden, who is spending his last days in the White House and must officially hand over the reins of power to Donald Trump on January 20th, issued a statement announcing that he pardoned his son Hunter, who had previously become the focus of Republican attacks on him. is

The statement reads: Today I pardoned my son Hunter. Ever since I took the helm of the White House, I have declared that I will not interfere in the affairs of the Department of Justice, even as I witnessed false accusations against my son Hunter.

The statement added: “Any sane person who looks at Hunter’s case realizes that he was targeted simply because he is my son.” We hope that the American people will understand why a father who is also the president decides to pardon his son.

Hunter Biden has a wide range of charges, from corruption and bribery in Ukraine to illegal weapons and drug trafficking, which could see him face 5 to 25 years in prison.

According to the US Constitution, the president of this country can pardon criminals under certain conditions. Traditionally, every president uses this privilege in the last days of his rule in the White House.
