CNN’s Scott Jennings Says History Will Remember Biden As ‘Complete And Total Disgrace’ Over Hunter Pardoning

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings said Monday that President Joe Biden will be remembered as a “complete and total disgrace” over his decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden.
Biden issued a formal pardon for his son Sunday evening after the White House assured the American public for months that he would not do so. Jennings argued that this action made the “strongest possible case for [President-elect] Donald Trump” by proving that the president blatantly lied to the American people only to ultimately protect his son in the end.
“Joe Biden is leaving office making the strongest possible case for Donald Trump that anybody could possibly make it and that’s that our government and our justice system is of, by and for the elites and nobody else,” Jennings said. “He ran to vanish Trumpism from our political system in this country and he has left it politically and now institutionally the strongest possible political force in this country. It is a complete and utter failure by the head of the Democratic Party and the President of the United States. Never again do I want to hear ‘oh, Donald Trump’s a liar, you can’t believe anything he says. Donald Trump will abuse his power, Donald Trump will only use the system to benefit himself and his family’ and so on and so forth … We are sitting on the biggest cover-up of who knows what crimes and Joe Biden amazingly knows exactly, roughly when it started.”
“He knows just about when it all started. He’s leaving office in complete and total disgrace, he is a liar and there is no other way to spin this today. This has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with the character of Joe Biden.”
A jury convicted the president’s son in June on three felony charges related to his purchase of a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, alleging he knowingly bought the item while addicted to drugs and made false statements on the purchase form. He also faced nine charges related to his alleged failure to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes and his alleged filing of falsified tax paperwork, all of which Hunter pleaded guilty to.
In his statement announcing the pardoning, Biden said he has always emphasized telling Americans the truth and that he believes the charges against his son “led to a miscarriage of justice.”
“For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice — and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision,” Biden said in his statement.
Biden and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre have repeatedly said the president would not pardon Hunter. The press secretary made these claims during press briefings dating back to as early as July, and even claimed Biden would not ask President-elect Donald Trump to pardon his son in November.

Baton-wielding protesters stormed the COP30 summit in Belem, Brazil, on Tuesday, with video showing some dressed in indigenous outfits, according to multiple reports.
The COP30 summit is the 30th annual meeting of parties to the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC), an agreement to reach “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2050, according to the conference’s website. Video posted on X and aired by the BBC showed the protesters kicking doors and forcing their way into the building.

Two security guards were injured in the fracas, with one being taken out in a wheelchair while holding his stomach, Sky News reported.
Past COP summits have seen speakers propose taxes on the meat and dairy industry and “climate finance” initiatives for less-developed countries. The Biden administration signed on to a pledge to start “transitioning away from fossil fuels” at the United Nations COP28 climate summit on Dec. 13, 2023.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California attended the summit, where he labeled President Donald Trump “an invasive species” and “a wrecking-ball president” who was “doubling down on stupid.” Newsom also announced an agreement between California and Nigeria, which was declared a “country of particular concern” due to persecution of Christians.

Nearly 3,000 people died across New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa. during the 9/11 attacks, according to the Pew Research Center. When asked directly on “Special Report with Bret Baier” if he regrets the attack, al-Sharaa distanced himself entirely from the event.
“I was only 19 years old, so I was a very young person, and I didn’t have any decision-making power at that time, and I don’t have anything to do with it,” al-Sharaa said. “And al-Qaeda was not present right then in my area. So you’re speaking to the wrong person about this subject.”

The Syrian leader then shifted the conversation.

“We mourn for every civilian that got killed, and we know that people suffer from the war, especially civilians who pay the price, a hefty price for the war,” al-Sharaa said.
President Donald Trump hosted al-Sharaa at the White House on Monday, welcoming the former al-Qaeda member who once fought U.S. forces in Iraq and served time in Abu Ghraib prison. The U.S. government removed al-Sharaa from its terror list just days before his meeting with Trump, according to CBS News.
Al-Sharaa, who led a rebel coalition that toppled Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024 while heading the militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has since recast himself as a pro-Western reformer. Legacy media outlets have described his government as “moderate” compared to Assad’s rule.
The visit marks the first time a Syrian head of state has entered the White House since Syria gained independence in 1946, NPR reported. Trump, during a speech in Saudi Arabia, said in May that he would lift U.S. sanctions on Syria.
