President-elect Trump reacted to President Biden’s surprise decision to pardon his son Hunter on Sunday.

Biden’s move to pardon – a decision he previously claimed he would not make – turned heads across the country. In a Truth Social post on Sunday night, Trump suggested that Biden should have pardoned Jan. 6 protesters.

“Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years?” Trump wrote. “Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!”

The Trump transition team also reacted to the pardon for Hunter Biden.

BIDEN WON’T PARDON HUNTER, WHITE HOUSE REAFFIRMS, BUT CRITICS AREN’T SO SURE

“The failed witch hunts against President Trump have proven that the Democrat-controlled DOJ and other radical prosecutors are guilty of weaponizing the justice system,” Trump’s incoming White House communications chief Steven Cheung said in a statement to Fox News.

“That system of justice must be fixed and due process must be restored for all Americans, which is exactly what President Trump will do as he returns to the White House with an overwhelming mandate from the American people.”

Earlier on Sunday, Biden accused Republicans of unfair treatment and claimed Hunter was “treated differently” by prosecutors. Hunter Biden was convicted of three felony firearm offenses in a Delaware trial earlier this year, and then pleaded guilty to multiple felony tax offenses in September. 

“From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,” the president’s statement read.

“Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form,” he continued. “Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions.”

Biden also evoked Hunter’s battle with substance abuse and asked Americans to “understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.”

“There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution,” the president continued. “In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.”

Biden had previously denied any intent to pardon his son after Hunter was convicted earlier this year.

“I am not going to do anything,” Biden said after the conviction. “I will abide by the jury’s decision.”

Trump previously told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that, if elected, he “wouldn’t do anything that would be overt” regarding Hunter Biden’s cases, calling the first son’s legal woes “a sad situation.”

“I’ll bet you the father probably pardons him,” the Republican remarked. “Let’s see what happens. But he’s a bad boy.”

Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers arrested a man near the border in Del Rio, Texas, on Friday for his alleged involvement in smuggling a 5-year-old girl into the U.S. from Mexico.

Texas DPS said a trooper stopped a Dodge pickup truck in Del Rio after receiving information that a man was captured by border surveillance carrying a child across the Rio Grande.

Lt. Chris Olivarez, a spokesperson for Texas DPS, told Fox News that the 5-year-old girl who was carried across the border was loaded into another smuggler’s vehicle and driven to a hotel.

Troopers kept an eye on the pickup truck until they eventually pulled the truck over and conducted a traffic stop.

During the stop, troopers learned the 5-year-old girl was from Mexico and had just been smuggled into the U.S. The Trooper also matched the image of the girl in surveillance footage to the girl in the pickup truck.

While asking the girl questions in Spanish, he pointed out the youngster’s bow, which was also seen in the recorded footage.

The girl’s mother, Dolores Lopez, was also in the truck at the time of the traffic stop.

Texas DPS said the mother is a temporary resident of North Carolina and is originally from Mexico.

Lopez told troopers she located a smuggling organization on the internet and agreed to have her daughter smuggled into the U.S. for $8,000.

Troopers ultimately arrested the smuggler, who was identified as Roman Ibarra Rojo from Mexico. Rojo was charged with smuggling a person younger than 18 years old.

Texas DPS said Rojo confessed that he was going to be paid $1,000 to smuggle the 5-year-old girl into the U.S.

Olivarez said Rojo was previously arrested in 2022 for smuggling.

Lopez and her daughter were referred to the U.S. Border Patrol with the recommendation of charging the mother with endangering her child. It will be up to the district attorney to decide whether to prosecute the mother.

PURDUE REPORTEDLY FIRES COACH RYAN WALTERS AFTER TWO SEASONS, 5-19 RECORD

FOX Sports’ broadcast captured the moment a Michigan flag was planted on the Ohio State logo, seemingly prompting the skirmish. It was not immediately clear which player attempted to plant the flag, but video from the stands showed several Ohio State players rushing the field where the Michigan players were centered around the flag.

Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer snatched the flag away before throwing it on the ground. 

“Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games & will continue to investigate,” the department said in a statement on X.

In the immediate aftermath of the fight, Michigan running back Kalel Mullings told FOX Sports in an on-field interview the incident was “bad for the sport.”

“It was such a great game. You hate to see stuff like that happen after the game – bad for the sport, bad for college football. But at the end of the game, they got to learn how to lose, man. You can’t be fighting and stuff just because you lost a game.”

“We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting, and now people want to talk and fight. That’s wrong. It’s bad for the game – classless, in my opinion – and people want to be better.”

Michigan won the game, 13-10.

Sam Darnold has become the unlikely star of the 2024 season as the Minnesota Vikings notched their third 10-win season in six years with a close victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

Darnold, a castoff quarterback who was likely set to be a backup at some point over the year to J.J. McCarthy before the rookie was injured, staked his claim on Sunday as the man to beat for Comeback Player of the Year.

He took the Vikings down the field on an eight-play, 70-yard drive that ended with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Jones. Minnesota took the lead 23-22 with 1:13 left in the game and won by the same score.

Darnold was 21-of-31 with 235 passing yards and two touchdown passes. The pass to Jones solidified the biggest comeback of Darnold’s career. The other touchdown pass went to Johnny Mundt.

“There’s no other place I’d rather play; just so grateful to be a Viking,” the veteran quarterback told FOX’s Pam Oliver after the game.

Darnold was a backup to Brock Purdy with the San Francisco 49ers last year and is on the verge of getting Minnesota back to the playoffs.

Minnesota cornerback Shaquil Griffin picked off Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray to end the game.

Murray’s touchdown pass to Marvin Harrison Jr. put Arizona up 19-6 with 4:37 left in the third quarter. Darnold answered with his touchdown pass to Mundt on the next drive.

Murray was 31-of-45 with 260 passing yards, a touchdown pass and two interceptions. The other interception was thrown to Byron Murphy Jr.

Cardinals tight end Trey McBride led the team with 12 catches for 96 yards. Harrison had five catches for 60 yards.

Geno Smith and Leonard Williams were among the catalysts in the Seattle Seahawks’ win over the New York Jets as they both put together solid performances in a revenge game of sorts.

Both Smith and Williams starred for the Jets at points during their careers.

Smith was a second-round pick of the Jets in 2013. He played with them from 2013 to 2016 before he parted ways with them and eventually found himself with the Seahawks. Williams was with the Jets from 2015 to the middle of the 2019 season, when he was traded to the New York Giants. He was traded to the Seahawks last season.

Smith had 206 passing yards and one touchdown pass, and Williams had two sacks and an interception returned 92 yards for a touchdown. Seattle won the game 26-21.

New York had a 21-7 lead in the second quarter when Aaron Rodgers’ pass landed in the hands of Williams with about 7:39 to go in the first half. It sparked the epic comeback.

Smith led the Seahawks on a nine-play, 71-yard drive that ended with a Zach Charbonnet eight-yard touchdown run. Seattle was able to get new sets of downs thanks to two Jets penalties on fourth down. They eventually burned them for it.

Seattle’s defense clamped down on the Jets’ offense in the second half. Seattle had a ton of special teams miscues in the first half that helped the Jets take advantage early. 

An early fumble on a kickoff led to a Jets touchdown and then Kene Nwangwu returned a kick 99 yards for a score.

Rodgers was 21-of-39 with 185 yards and two touchdown passes. Davante Adams and Isaiah Davis each had touchdown catches.

Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, NFL-star tight end Travis Kelce, is positioned to be the quarterback’s best asset, not competition. 

But that all changed over the weekend, when Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen announced his engagement to popstar and actress Hailee Steinfeld, making them football’s newest dynamic duo.

Kelce innocuously congratulated the couple in the comments section of their joint Instagram post which provoked users to speculate when he’d be dropping to a knee for Swift. 

Kelce’s “Congratulations!!!” comment, which generated over 11,000 likes, also produced nearly 150 comments, many of which suggested Kelce be the “next” to propose. 

TAYLOR SWIFT, TRAVIS KELCE HAVE ‘AUTHENTIC’ RELATIONSHIP DESPITE ‘MARKETING STRATEGY’ RUMORS: CHIEFS PRESIDENT

“Your move bro,” one user wrote. “You next,” several people commented. “Ok, will you be next? the world is looking forward to it…” a person asked. “The couple in this picture is the Temu version of you and your future wife @taylorswift,” another joked.

Others marveled at the insanity of the comments section, including one fervent defender who wrote, “He should be able to congratulate his friend without people acting crazy,” and later, “Very weird and invasive, stop bothering him he just congratulated his friend.”

A representative for Kelce did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

Swift, who is pals with Steinfeld, also liked the post.

Swift took her relationship with Kelce public in September 2023, after the “Bad Blood” singer attended one of his games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple,” she told TIME of their relationship timeline. “I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

Swift was shown over a dozen times on camera during that game, and has continued to be shown frequently at all subsequent events she’s attended.

Nearing the end of her Eras Tour, Swift was accompanied by her father, Scott, and Kelce’s mother, Donna, to watch the Chiefs defeat the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday.

Since the couple began dating, there have been rumors the relationship is manufactured for publicity purposes. Although Mark Donovan, president of the Kansas City Chiefs, refuted that narrative in late November.

“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship, and we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us,” he said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship… and the impacts it’s had on us, is Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan. And that matters to our fans and our fanbase, and it matters to us, and we’ve tried to respect that.”
