- 'His words mean nothing': Lawmakers criticize Biden over Hunter pardon
- Date posted
- 1 year ago
- Description
- At least one Democrat is responding to President Joe Biden’s Sunday pardon of his son Hunter with a reminder about President-elect Donald Trump: He’s a convicted criminal, too.
“If you defended the 34x felon, who committed sexual assault, stole national security documents, and tried running a coup on his country…you can sit out the Hunter Biden pardon discussion,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) posted on X overnight.
Other Democrats have stayed mum or defended the president’s decision to give his son a “full and unconditional” pardon, though Rep. Greg Landsman toed a finer line. The Ohio Democrat wrote on X Monday that while "I get it" as a father, "as someone who wants people to believe in public service again, it’s a setback."

- Deadlock over Gaetz report fuels transparency debate
- Date posted
- 1 year ago
- Description
- The House Ethics Committee on Wednesday did not agree to release the long-anticipated report into Matt Gaetz.
“There was not an agreement by the committee to release the report,” Chair Michael Guest (R-Miss.) told reporters after the meeting ended. Other members declined to comment.
Gaetz abruptly resigned from Congress last week, hours after President-elect Donald Trump tapped him to be attorney general. The Florida firebrand told GOP leadership the abrupt resignation was meant to allow them to fill his seat more quickly, but several Republicans theorized it was actually to avoid the coming release of the Ethics Committee report. Typically, once a member resigns they are no longer considered under the panel’s jurisdiction, though the Ethics Committee has released reports on former members at least twice before.

Senate Republicans largely refrained from wading into whether Gaetz — who the Department of Justice investigated for years over allegations that he engaged in sex with underage girls and paid for their transportation — could be confirmed. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) rolled his eyes and Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) declined to comment.

Shortly after Biden made the remarks, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) told Trump supporters at a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, that “Joe Biden stated that our supporters are garbage.”
“I hope their campaign is about to apologize for what Joe Biden just said,” Rubio said, addressing Trump.
