Writing from the city
President Biden decided to pardon his son Hunter on Sunday night, despite his previous statements that he would not do so. By utilizing his presidential authority, Biden disregarded Hunter’s legal issues, which included a federal conviction for purchasing a gun illegally and tax evasion.
The White House released a statement from President Biden announcing his decision to grant clemency to his son for any offenses he may have committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024, against the United States.
He explained that he chose to make the decision because he believed the charges against Hunter were fueled by political motives and intended to damage his political reputation.
Mr. Biden claimed that the charges against his son were instigated by his political opponents in Congress to undermine him and his election. He argued that anyone who examines the facts of Hunter’s cases would see that he was targeted solely because of his relationship to Mr. Biden, which he believed was unjust.
He stated that there has been an attempt to harm Hunter, who has remained sober for five and a half years despite constant attacks and unfair treatment. By targeting Hunter, they are also targeting him, and he believes that this will not end here. He believes that it is time for this to stop.
This man’s presidency and decades-long career were characterized by the belief that he would never meddle in the justice system. However, in 2020 and again in 2024, he advocated for the removal of former President Donald J. Trump in order to uphold the independence of America’s democracy.
