Democratic Sen. John Fetterman said Thursday that the federal cases against President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden and the New York hush money case against President-elect Donald Trump were both “politically motivated” and deserving of pardons. Fetterman told a small group of reporters in the Capitol that the tax and gun cases against Hunter Biden were “politically motivated” and “weaponized for political gain,” comparing them to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump. “The same thing was done with Trump with the New York case. Fetterman didn’t directly answer when asked if he’s calling on Biden to pardon Trump. Fetterman echoed Biden’s sentiment that “raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice,” which the president wrote in his official statement announcing Hunter Biden’s pardon on Sunday.
