Chris Smith (R-Manchester) issued the following statement in response to President Biden\u2019s decision to pardon Hunter Biden:\n\n\"President Biden\u2019s 'full and unconditional' pardon of his son Hunter makes an absolute mockery of our justice system.\n\nWhile other Americans are serving time for committing the very same felonies, Hunter Biden will never be held accountable for his crimes\u2014simply because of his last name.\n\nTime and time again President Biden said that he would not pardon his son. He also said he never discussed these crimes and activities with Hunter. President Biden has been caught in many lies throughout his political career\u2014which begs the question what else has he said as President and Vice President\u2014and even as a U.S. Senator\u2014that was not true?\n\nPresident Biden has degraded the rule of law.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T22:13:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://chrissmith.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=413438"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8899299427866936, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
