President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son after repeatedly stating he would not is one of many broken promises from his administration.
On day one, Biden’s former press secretary Jen Psaki promised the administration would “bring transparency and truth back to the government.” Yet government watchdog complaints and congressional inquiries into executive agencies document how the past four years have been characterized by the opposite.
“The pardon is only the most recent of the egregious examples of the president’s pattern of not delivering on promises – especially ethical promises,” Protect the Public’s Trust director Michael Chamberlain told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Many of us remember the promises to be the most ethical administration in history. The reality of this administration and its top officials has been quite different.”
