evidence: Ramaswamy initially said he would be open to considering pardons for the "Biden family," but later said he wouldn’t pardon the president’s son, Hunter Biden. The New York Post wrote in August that Ramaswamy said, "After we have shut down the FBI, after we have refurbished the Department of Justice, after we have systematically pardoned anyone who was a victim of a (politically) motivated persecution — from Donald Trump and peaceful January 6 protests — then … I would be open to evaluating pardons for members of the Biden family in the interest of moving the nation forward." But on X the next day, Ramaswamy wrote, "No, I don’t have any plans to pardon Hunter Biden. It’s planted trash. When you strike the swamp, the swamp strikes back."
