Writing from the capital
On Sunday night, President Biden decided to grant his son Hunter a complete and absolute pardon, despite previously stating he would not. This pardon from the President clears Hunter of all legal issues, such as a federal gun purchase conviction and tax evasion charges.
The White House released a statement from President Biden announcing his decision to grant executive clemency to his son for any offenses he may have committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.
He explained that he chose to make the decision because he believed the accusations against Hunter were driven by political motives and intended to damage his reputation in the political realm
Mr. Biden stated that the charges against his son only arose because some of his political rivals in Congress wanted to harm his reputation and prevent him from being elected. He believes that anyone who examines the details of Hunter’s cases would see that he was targeted solely because of his connection to Mr. Biden, which he believes is unjust.
He stated that there has been a deliberate attempt to undermine Hunter, who has remained sober for five and a half years despite facing constant criticism and unfair legal action. They have also tried to undermine him in the process. He believes that this mistreatment will not end and is calling for it to stop.
A man who had always emphasized the importance of not meddling in the administration of justice saw a significant shift in his beliefs in 2020 and 2024. He argued for the removal of former President Donald J. Trump to restore independence in America’s democracy.
