Former President Donald Trump has responded to President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, by questioning whether the pardon extends to those he refers to as 'J-6 hostages'—individuals imprisoned in connection with the January 6th Capitol riot. Trump's comments, made on Truth Social, criticized the Justice Department, calling it 'Democrat-controlled' and pledged to fix what he describes as a broken system. He labeled the imprisonment of the 'J-6 hostages' as an 'abuse and miscarriage of justice' and suggested a potential move to issue pardons for those involved in the January 6th events if he were to return to office.
