President-elect Trump responded Sunday to President Biden’s surprise decision to pardon his son Hunter.

Biden’s request for a pardon – a decision he had previously claimed he would not make – caused a stir across the country. In a Truth Social post Sunday evening, Trump suggested that Biden should have pardoned the Jan. 6 protesters.

“Does the pardon granted by Joe Hunter extend to the J-6 hostages, who have been imprisoned for years now?” Trump wrote. “Such an abuse and miscarriage of justice!”

The Trump transition team also responded to Hunter Biden’s pardon.

“The failed witch hunts against President Trump have proven that the Democratic-controlled Justice Department and other radical prosecutors are guilty of weaponizing the justice system,” Trump’s new White House communications chief, Steven Cheung, said in a statement to Fox News.

“This justice system must be repaired and due process restored for all Americans, and that is exactly what President Trump will do when he returns to the White House with an overwhelming mandate from the American people.”

Earlier Sunday, Biden accused Republicans of unfair treatment and claimed Hunter was “treated differently” by prosecutors. Hunter Biden was convicted of three serious weapons offenses in a trial in Delaware earlier this year and then pleaded guilty to several serious tax offenses in September.

“From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere in the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I have kept my word, even as I watched my son be selectively and unfairly prosecuted was,” the president’s statement said.

“Without aggravating factors such as use in a crime, multiple purchases, or purchasing a gun as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial for a crime simply because they filled out a gun form,” he continued. “Anyone who pays their taxes late because of serious addiction but then repays them with interest and penalties will usually receive a non-criminal solution.”

Biden also recalled Hunter’s battle with substance abuse and urged Americans to “understand why a father and a president would come to this decision.”

“An attempt was made to break Hunter – who has been sober for five and a half years, even in the face of relentless attacks and selective prosecution,” the president continued. “By trying to break Hunter, they tried to break me – and there’s no reason to think it will stop here. Enough is enough.”

Biden had previously denied any intention of pardoning his son after Hunter was convicted earlier this year.

“I’m not going to do anything,” Biden said after the sentencing. “I will stick to it the jury’s decision.”

Trump previously told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that if elected he “wouldn’t do anything obvious” regarding Hunter Biden’s cases and called the first son’s legal troubles “a sad situation.”

“I bet the father will probably pardon him,” the Republican remarked. “Let’s see what happens. But he’s a bad boy.”
