Hunter Biden Comments On The Trump Administrations DOJ Recent Indictments Following Pardon

Well, that didn’t take long.

Hunter Biden is back in the headlines—again—and this time, he’s not just grateful for the get-out-of-jail-free card handed to him by his dad. No, he’s on offense. In a new interview, Hunter calls Donald Trump’s presidency a “revenge tour,” throws in some shots at the Justice Department, and casually acknowledges that yes, his father’s 2024 pardon was a generous act of pure privilege.

This isn’t just some quiet, reflective moment of gratitude. It’s part confessional, part deflection, and very much a political landmine. And it’s hard not to raise an eyebrow when someone who just got blanket-cleared of serious tax and gun charges decides now’s the moment to slam the guy who beat his dad in the 2024 election.

Let’s rewind. In case you forgot, Joe Biden, in the final weeks of his presidency, issued a sweeping pardon for his son Hunter—wiping away tax evasion and illegal gun possession convictions, and covering just about anything else Hunter may have done wrong between 2014 and 2024. That’s a full decade of legal protection, all wrapped up in one presidential signature.

Fast forward to now: Trump is in office. J.D. Vance is vice president. And Hunter Biden—speaking to journalist Tommy Christopher—says the quiet part out loud.

“I realize how privileged I am,” he says.

“My dad would not have pardoned me if President Trump had not won.”

Wait—what?

Let that sink in. According to Hunter, the only reason he got the pardon was because Trump won the election. Translation: Joe Biden, who repeatedly said he wouldn’t pardon his son, changed his mind once he knew the game was over. This wasn’t just about love or forgiveness—it was about shielding the Biden family from future political blowback under a new administration.

But that’s not even the wildest part.

Hunter goes further. He claims that without the pardon, Trump would have used him to “intimidate” the entire Biden family. That he—Hunter—would’ve been the easiest target for a political takedown. So, in his view, the pardon wasn’t just a gift; it was a shield. A preemptive strike. A way to dodge the Trump hammer before it could fall.
