If you are president again, in the name of unity, would you consider pardoning Hunter Biden?<\/p>\n<p>DONALD TRUMP: Well, <strong>I wouldn&#8217;t do anything that would be overt in terms of Hunter. <\/strong>It&#8217;s a sad situation, but I could have done that with Hillary Clinton. She was \u201cCrooked Hillary,&#8221; and I thought, wouldn&#8217;t it be terrible to take the president of the United States and put his wife in jail? She was Secretary of State. Aside from everything else, you&#8217;re going to take the president&#8217;s wife and put her in jail? I tempered that down; you saw when they were going to &#8220;lock her up.&#8221; <strong>I went \u201cnice and easy.\u201d People don&#8217;t remember that.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But wouldn\u2019t that be terrible? <strong>I found out that when I came in over nothing, I got two impeachments and I won<\/strong>. I&#8217;m winning all the cases. How about the case in Florida? The big case was the one in Florida; I won that case. <strong>What they\u2019ve done is use the FBI and the Department of Injustice to go after their political opponent, and it has never been done in this country.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People ask if I&#8217;m going to do that, and the answer is no. I don\u2019t want to do that; it&#8217;s so bad for the country. The precedent they&#8217;ve set is so bad for our country. But I could have done it with Hillary, and certainly, you could do it with Hunter or whatever, but I don\u2019t want to do it with Hunter either. I&#8217;ll bet you the father probably pardons him; let\u2019s see what happens. <strong>But he\u2019s a bad boy, there\u2019s no question about it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I don&#8217;t want to hurt people; I really don\u2019t.<\/strong> The country has to heal; it has to get better. There\u2019s tremendous anger in this country from the stupidity that we\u2019re watching\u2014four years of gross incompetence, four years of stupidity, and she\u2019s worse than he is. I believe I watched CNN last night; I watched her performance on a town hall or whatever you want to call it. <strong>She\u2019s not even coherent, and we\u2019ve had that for four years. <\/strong>We\u2019re not going to be able to survive another four years; we\u2019re not going to be able to take it for four more years.<\/p>\n<p>*\u00a0 *\u00a0 *<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t take it off the books,&#8221; Trump also <a href=\"https:\/\/hughhewitt.com\/former-and-future-president-donald-trump-on-chairman-xi-vp-harris-and-the-closing-days-of-campaign-2024\">told radio host Hugh Hewitt<\/a> when asked if he would consider pardoning Hunter.<\/p>\n<p>HH: Will you pardon Hunter Biden?<\/p>\n<p>DT: <strong>I wouldn\u2019t take it off the books<\/strong>. <strong>See, unlike Joe Biden, despite what they\u2019ve done to me, where they\u2019ve gone after me so viciously, despite what, and Hunter\u2019s a bad boy. There\u2019s no question about it. He\u2019s been a bad boy<\/strong>. All you had to do is see the laptop from hell. But I happen to think it\u2019s very bad for our country. I was, I think you know this, but most people don\u2019t, because most people aren\u2019t of your talent. I could have gone after Hillary. <strong>I could have gotten Hillary Clinton very easily.<\/strong> And when they say lock her up, whenever they said lock her, you know, they\u2019d start, 30,000 people, lock her up, lock her up. What did I do? I always say take it easy, just relax. We\u2019re winning. Take it easy. Take it easy<strong>. I could have had her put in jail. And I decided I didn\u2019t want to do that.<\/strong> I thought it would look terrible. You had the wife of the president of the United States going to jail. I thought it would be very bad if we did that. And I made sure that didn\u2019t happen, okay? I thought it would be bad. What I didn\u2019t know is that they were going to play dirty with me.
