Sen. Joe Manchin Urges Biden to Pardon President-elect Trump After Hunter Biden's Pardon
Dec 2, 2024, 11:56 PM
Senator Joe Manchin has publicly called on President Joe Biden to pardon President-elect Donald Trump following Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, for charges against him. Manchin argued that pardoning Trump would create a sense of balance and fairness, describing the move as a way to 'clean the slate' and make Biden's legacy less contentious. He suggested that pardoning Trump alongside Hunter Biden would have been a more equitable approach, stating, 'Wipe them all out.' Manchin's comments have drawn significant attention, with some viewing his remarks as a critique of Biden's handling of the situation.
