Sen. Fetterman Calls for Trump Pardon

Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has called for pardons for both former President Donald Trump and Hunter Biden, suggesting that their legal cases have been politically motivated. In his first post on Truth Social, Fetterman criticized the weaponization of the judiciary for partisan gain, which he argues undermines the public's trust in institutions. Fetterman’s remarks are consistent with his recent statements on ABC's 'The View,' where he argued that both cases diminish faith in the justice system. New York Governor Kathy Hochul holds the authority to pardon Trump for his conviction related to falsifying business records in the hush-money case. Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), a presidential challenger to Biden, also supports a pardon for Trump for national unity. These positions highlight Fetterman's departure from typical Democratic stances, showcasing his willingness to break ranks for what he perceives as bipartisan fairness.
