Full Episode
In the final minutes of his presidency, Joe Biden shocked the political world by issuing preemptive pardons for several of his own family members. The move has sparked renewed calls for investigations into Biden family corruption.
In this episode, we sit down with bestselling author Peter Schweitzer to discuss the unprecedented Biden family pardons and Republicans' plans to follow the money. I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Sunday, January 26th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
Joining us now is Peter Schweitzer, bestselling author and president of the Government Accountability Institute. Peter, always great to talk to you. Thanks for coming on.
Of course. Happy to be with you.
Look, we witnessed something this week that Joe Biden repeatedly told the American people he would never do. He preemptively pardoned members of his own family, five of them. This comes after he did something else he swore he wouldn't do, pardon his own son, Hunter. So first, we hear the term unprecedented thrown around a lot, especially this last year. Is this indeed unprecedented?
Yeah, there's no example in American history of a family member of a sitting president being pardoned, no less five members of the family, or six if you include Hunter. Also, these sort of preemptive pardons are really unprecedented as well, and those will probably be tested in court.
You had assumed so. Now, we've covered the Hunter pardon at length here. In fact, we had you on to talk about it at one point. We now have five more members of the Biden family. And again, like you said, these are preemptive pardons, so different in kind. First, who exactly did he grant this blanket immunity to?
These are essentially his siblings and their spouses and his son and his daughter. And what's significant is all six of these people are individuals that are connected to LLCs, these limited liability companies that the family had multiple listings of. And these are entities that all received money from these foreign entities.
It's also important to point out, John, that each one of these pardons, whether it's Hunter or the other five family members, The pardon specifically mentions any crimes that occurred beginning after January 1st of 2014. That's significant because all of the foreign deals, those involving China, Ukraine, and Russia, all started happening in early 2014.
