Should Trump Be Allowed To Run For A Third Term?

GOP To Continue Investigating The Biden Family?

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) has expressed that the ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, should continue despite the president’s recent decision to grant his son a full pardon. On a Fox News appearance, Malliotakis made it clear that Republicans must persist in uncovering the truth about Hunter Biden’s actions, regardless of the pardon.

“Our investigation must continue,” Malliotakis stated. “We need to make sure the American people know what really happened, even if these pardons are being handed out.”

The congresswoman also voiced strong opposition to the legality of the pardon, urging it to be challenged in court. She noted that members of the House Oversight Committee and other investigative bodies would likely pursue legal avenues to dispute the decision, asserting that the pardon should not be allowed to stand unchallenged.

President Biden’s decision to pardon his son has drawn widespread criticism from both sides of the political aisle. Many Republicans, along with some Democrats, have raised concerns about the implications of such a move, particularly given the serious criminal charges against Hunter Biden. In June, Hunter was convicted on three felony counts for lying about his drug use on a firearms application and unlawfully possessing the weapon. In addition, he pleaded guilty to nine federal tax violations in September. His sentencing was scheduled before the pardon was granted.

Despite the charges, President Biden defended his decision, claiming the legal proceedings against Hunter were politically motivated and that no “reasonable person” could conclude Hunter was guilty based on the facts—arguing that his son was being targeted solely because of his family connection.

While Biden had repeatedly denied the possibility of a pardon for his son in the past, his sudden reversal has only added fuel to the fire of criticism. For Republicans like Malliotakis, this is seen as just another example of the Biden family’s disregard for accountability and the rule of law. They believe the investigation into Hunter Biden must move forward, regardless of the pardon, to ensure justice is served.
