Fetterman Urges Pardon for Trump in Politically Motivated NYC Case
Dec 5, 2024, 09:25 PM
Democratic Senator John Fetterman has publicly stated that the criminal cases against both Hunter Biden and former President Donald Trump were politically motivated. Fetterman expressed his belief that President-elect Trump should be pardoned for the New York City business records case, comparing it to the recent pardon of Hunter Biden by President Biden. Fetterman made these comments on 'The View,' suggesting that both cases have damaged public trust in legal institutions. He argued that the prosecutions were 'weaponized for political gain,' and called for a pardon for Trump, stating that it would be appropriate for both sides to receive one. He specifically mentioned that the NYC case against Trump was 'politically motivated.'
