So by any measure, the claim of an "unprecedented" mandate simply isn't true. Trump won a very close election and will govern a country where a near majority of people have voted against him three times. read more

"Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department's decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.

Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form.

Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.

The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election.

Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room " with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter's cases.

No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter's cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son " and that is wrong.

There has been an effort to break Hunter " who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they've tried to break me " and there's no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.

For my entire career I have followed a simple principle:

just tell the American people the truth. They'll be fair-minded. Here's the truth:

I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice " and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision."

As history will bear out. Rudy G was running all over Eastern Europe with bags full of money for anyone who could frame Hunter Biden... no surprise he found them.

Giuliani is interviewed by Chris Cuomo on CNN and in a heated exchange at first denies that he asked Ukraine to investigate Biden. About 30 seconds later, he reverses himself. "Of course I did," he says.

Meanwhile, Trumpers have NO concerns at all that Dear Leader committed crimes to overturn an Election in this country.

None. Zero. Zilch.

And if you'd like to get into Trump's pardons.... and the pardons he is about to give himself and other criminals for J6, feel free to do so.
