Trenton, New Jersey. A presidential pardon for Hunter Biden has drawn criticism from New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin, who said on Saturday that the move could erode trust in the country’s political and legal systems.
In a statement, Platkin addressed the matter and underlined the significance of constant accountability in law enforcement and government. Sometimes we are unable to care for the rule of law. Sometimes we can’t worry about corruption. He said, “It’s pass-fail.”
His comments coincide with the intensifying political controversy involving the president’s son. Republicans have accused the Justice Department of favoring the president’s son in its handling of the case against Hunter Biden, who has been under investigation for tax-related charges and alleged illegal weapons ownership.
Concerning the wider ramifications of a pardon, Platkin cautioned that it might undermine confidence in the country’s accountability frameworks. He claimed that this pardon erodes the already shaky faith in our institutions that hold those in positions of authority accountable.
