The State Duma Speaker commented on Joe Biden's recent decision.
According to Vyacheslav Volodin, the pardon of Hunter Biden dealt a crushing blow to the presidential authority in the United States.
The Chairman of the State Duma expressed this opinion on his Telegram channel.
Let us recall that the head of state’s son was charged with abuse of prohibited substances and possession of a Colt pistol.
In addition, he was accused of willful tax evasion in the amount of approximately 100 thousand dollars.
Despite the fact that Joe Biden had previously denied the possibility of pardoning his son, he eventually took this step, which caused a wave of indignation in the United States. In particular, Trump called his colleague's decision a violation of the rules of justice.
Vyacheslav Volodin shares the same point of view. In his opinion, it will now take decades to restore public trust.
Such decisions, the State Duma Chairman believes, primarily harm the reputation and authority of the American president.
For reference
Robert Hunter Biden is an American lawyer, civil servant, and businessman, the son of the 46th President of the United States Joe Biden.
