Hochul Hounded
Another lawmaker has urged New York’s governor to pardon former President Trump – this time, the call is coming from a Republican.
Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., penned a letter to Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Thursday, demanding she pardon former Trump following his conviction last month.
The case “undermines the impartiality and credibility of our once venerable justice system and cannot be allowed to stand,” Tenney said.
The congresswoman also suggested Bragg might have broken the law in pursuing the case against Trump. Bragg “used a warped version of events to push the manufactured charges in The People v. Trump,” a decision that, at best, is “legally questionable, at worst it’s criminal,” she wrote.
Tenney pointed out that a Democrat was among the first to urge her to pardon Trump.
“Even my Democratic colleague from Minnesota, Congressman Dean Phillips, has called on you to pardon President Trump. Pardoning President Trump is not a partisan issue, it’s an American issue that is necessary to preserve the integrity of our legal system.”
In other pardon news, President Biden reiterated Thursday that he would not pardon his son after a Delaware jury found him guilty of federal crimes. And Biden said he wouldn’t commute Hunter’s sentence — which has not been determined yet.
