Dem Rep. Dean Phillips blasts Biden after Hunter pardon, says some people ‘are indeed above the law’
Fox News
U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., on Monday said that President Biden's pardon of his son, Hunter, shows that some Americans "are indeed above the law."
"Let’s just say the quiet part out loud, certain Americans are indeed above the law and influence is always for sale," Phillips wrote on X. "It’s time for the exhausted majority to condemn and confront legalized corruption."
President Biden issued a sweeping pardon for Hunter Biden on Sunday after he had repeatedly said he would not do so. The first son had been convicted in two separate federal cases earlier this year. He pleaded guilty to federal tax charges in September, and was convicted of three felony gun charges in June after lying on a mandatory gun purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs.
