The former president is investigating the current administration for issuing numerous perdons before leaving office, including his son Hunter; Republican says actions are illegal
The former president of United States, Joe Bidenhe positioned himself against the criticism of Donald Trump regarding your ability to govern. In an interview with The New York Times, Biden assured that all decisions related to presidential perdons and indulgers were made by him, using an automatic pen, a common equipment among the presidents. Biden’s decisions, which included the reduction of penalties for nonviolent drugs linked to drugs and the conversion of the death penalty into life imprisonment to 37 individuals from the 40 waiting for execution, were the target of Trump’s accusations. The president argues that these perdons are illegal, claiming that they were signed without their knowledge. Trump also announced an investigation to verify that Biden’s advisers hid his supposed “cognitive decline.”
During the interview, Biden clarified that the orders about the perdons were given verbally and documented in internal emails. He defended the legality of the use of the automatic pen and explained that the perdons granted to members of his family, including his son Hunter Biden, convicted of fiscal fraud and illegal possession of a weapon, were motivated by fear of reprisals by Trump. In addition, Biden criticized Trump and the Republicans, calling them liars and implying that they try to divert attention from their own flaws.
“They are liars, and everyone knows that. They know that. I want to say, that is … see, what they, they have a great deal here. They have gone so bad. They lied so often about almost everything they are doing. The best they can do now is to change the focus and focus on something else. And that is … I think that is what it is,” Biden told the American newspaper.
