evidence: On Saturday, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy criticized the appointment of U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation. [...] According to the New York Post, Ramaswamy said that he would consider pardoning Hunter Biden in order to move the nation forward, following a period of what he considers "politically motivated persecution." "After we have shut down the FBI, after we have refurbished the Department of Justice, after we have systemically pardoned anyone who was a victim of a political motivated persecution, from Donald Trump and peaceful January 6 protests, then would I be open to evaluating pardons for members of the Biden family in the interest of moving the nation forward," Ramaswamy told the newspaper.
