Rep. Jason Smith, a U.S. Congressman representing Missouri’s 8th district since 2013, has recently expressed his views on the legal proceedings involving Hunter Biden through a series of tweets. Smith, who succeeded Jo Ann Emerson in Congress and previously served in the Missouri House of Representatives, shared his opinions on social media regarding the collapse of Hunter Biden's plea deal and subsequent pardon.

On December 2, 2024, Rep. Jason Smith commented on the failure of Hunter Biden's plea deal, stating that it fell apart because "a federal judge agreed with myself, @WaysandMeansGOP, and the two brave IRS whistleblowers that Hunter Biden was being handed a sweetheart deal no other American would have received." He emphasized that this issue transcends politics and is about ensuring fairness in legal proceedings. "Hunter Biden's plea deal fell apart because a federal judge agreed with myself..."

Later that day, Rep. Smith addressed what he described as a "shameless cover up" regarding Hunter Biden's pardon. He asserted that this action is part of an illegal influence peddling scheme by the Biden family. In his statement posted online, he criticized the decision to grant a pardon to Hunter Biden. "The Hunter Biden pardon is a shameless cover up of the Biden family's illegal influence peddling scheme."
