The Biden administration may be a distant memory, but the damage left in its reckless wake continues to haunt America. The Trump Justice Department has begun investigating former President Joe Biden’s extensive and questionable use of the pardon power during his final days in office—a clear sign that the MAGA administration intends to root out corruption and restore accountability to the highest office in the land.
In a bold move toward transparency, President Trump’s DOJ has tasked Pardon Attorney Ed Martin with a thorough review of more than 1,500 clemency grants Biden made just before leaving office. For context, this was the largest single-day act of clemency ever issued by a U.S. president, a fact proudly touted by Biden’s White House but viewed by critics as a blatant abuse of executive power.
Of particular concern are the preemptive pardons Biden issued to his own son, Hunter Biden, alongside more than 35 death row inmates whose sentences were suspiciously commuted to life imprisonment. The investigation, according to Fox News reports, aims to determine whether Biden was mentally fit to make such consequential decisions or if he improperly relied on an AutoPen to mechanically rubber-stamp documents he may not have fully understood.
“Biden’s last-minute clemency spree raises serious red flags,” one DOJ official remarked anonymously to Fox News. “We owe it to the American people to examine these pardons and ensure justice was truly served.”
Let’s be clear: these pardons were not just routine acts of mercy. They included individuals convicted of defrauding American taxpayers of tens of millions of dollars. Biden’s decision to shield his own family members and inner circle from future prosecution reeks of cronyism at best, outright corruption at worst. It is precisely this sort of elitist privilege that the Trump administration is working tirelessly to dismantle.
This investigation underscores a troubling reality: Joe Biden’s declining mental fitness was obvious to anyone paying attention during his presidency. The question now becomes whether Biden was even capable of understanding the gravity of his decisions or simply allowed staffers and family members to exploit his weakened cognitive state for their personal gain.
As conservatives and patriots, we must demand accountability. The Biden-era pardons represent the swamp at its worst—an entitled political class protecting its own at the expense of justice and fairness for everyday Americans. President Trump promised to drain that swamp. This DOJ investigation is evidence that promise is being kept.
Furthermore, this inquiry serves as a critical reminder of why elections matter. Under Biden’s watch, America suffered through an open border crisis, economic stagnation, and disastrous foreign policy blunders. His administration left a legacy of weak leadership and questionable ethics. Contrast that with President Trump’s America First agenda, which has prioritized securing our borders, revitalizing American manufacturing, reforming trade deals, and ending endless foreign wars.
Yet the Biden hangover remains. Lingering corruption from his administration must be thoroughly investigated and exposed. The American people deserve answers about Biden’s final actions in office—actions that may have compromised justice and tarnished our nation’s rule of law.
The Trump DOJ’s move to review these pardons sends a clear message: the days of politically motivated clemencies and elite privilege are over. As conservatives committed to restoring integrity to Washington, we support President Trump’s Justice Department in holding the Biden administration accountable. No one, not even a former president, is above scrutiny or the law.
America deserves better than the cronyism and corruption that marked Biden’s presidency. The DOJ’s investigation into these suspicious pardons is a vital step toward reclaiming the ideals of fairness, justice, and accountability that define our great nation.
