Trump fundraising off Hunter Biden pardon 

President-elect Trump’s team has launched a new fundraising petition online in response to President Biden pardoning his son Hunter Biden. 

“The Biden Crime Family wants to sweep their CORRUPTION under the rug!” says a message signed by “Team Trump” on the WinRed fundraising platform. “Joe Biden weaponized the DOJ against President Trump, and now he wants to give Hunter Biden the sweet heart deal of the century…MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE!” 

“Right now we need a historic PATRIOT PUSH that says we’re not going to let them hide their CORRUPTION,” it adds, before encouraging patrons to sign a petition standing “with Trump against the Biden crime family’s corruption,” along with various options for donations.  

President Biden issued a “full and unconditional” pardon for Hunter Biden, 54, on Sunday. The President’s son was found guilty in June on three felony federal charges over his purchase and possession of a gun in 2018, violating the law by concealing drug use. He also pleaded guilty in September to nine federal tax charges, avoiding a trial.  

He was facing a sentencing hearing next week. 

“Do you remember when Biden said he would never pardon Hunter? That was a lie!” the Trump team said in an email promoting the new fundraising petition.

The president had said he was not going to pardon his son before backtracking Sunday, with an announcement that rattled the political world and drew some Democratic disapproval.
