Federal judge accuses President Biden of trying to “rewrite history” by pardoning Hunter Biden.

The federal judge overseeing Hunter Biden’s tax case sharply rebuked President Biden’s claim that his son was treated unfairly and the president’s delivery method after his last-minute pardon.

U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi, a resident of the Central District of California and nominated by President-elect Trump, accused President Biden of “rewriting history” with the pardon in a scathing five-page order, suggesting that the pardon The authorization granted to his son is unconstitutional.

“The Constitution grants the President broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for crimes against the United States, but nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history,” he wrote.

The judge expressed displeasure that the president informed the justice system of his order to pardon his son via a White House press release.

“Instead of attaching a true and accurate copy of the pardon to the notice, Mr. Biden provided a hyperlink to a White House press release containing a presidential statement on the pardon and the purported text of the pardon,” he wrote.

“In short, a press release is not a pardon,” he continued.

Scarsi continued, responding to the president’s statement about his son’s tax case: “The president claims that Mr. Biden ‘was treated differently’ than others ‘who paid their taxes late because of serious addictions,’ implying that Mr. Biden is too.” This belonged to them.” However, he is not a person who paid taxes late because of their addiction.

“According to the President, “no reasonable person looking at the facts of (Mr. Biden’s) cases can come to any conclusion other than that (Mr. Biden) was singled out simply because he is (the President’s son). ” But two federal judges specifically rejected Biden’s arguments that the administration prosecuted Mr. Biden because of his family relationship with the president and that the president’s attorney general and Justice Department staff oversaw the investigation that led to the charges, Scarsi wrote.

“In the president’s assessment, this legion of federal officials, including the signatories, are unreasonable people,” he said.

The judge said he would close the case once he received the official pardon “from the appropriate executive authority.”

He also waived Hunter Biden’s sentencing, which was scheduled for December 16. The charge carried up to 17 years behind bars, but the first son likely would have faced a much shorter sentence under federal sentencing guidelines.

TRUMP had previously predicted that Biden would pardon his son Hunter

“Subject to the following discussion, the court assumes that the pardon is effective and will close the case. The Supreme Court has long recognized that, despite its nearly unlimited nature, the pardon power extends only to prior offenses,” he wrote.

Hunter Biden, 54, has had a busy year in court, beginning his first trial in June in Delaware when he was charged with three felony weapons offenses before pleading guilty to felony charges in a separate tax case in September.

President Biden pardoned His son is a departure from his previous statements to the media over the summer when he insisted he would not pardon the first son.

“Yes,” President Biden told ABC News when asked if he would rule out pardoning Hunter before his guilty verdict in the gun case.

Days later, after a jury of Hunter’s colleagues found him guilty of three serious weapons offenses, the president again said he would not pardon his son.

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