On Sunday night, President Biden decided to pardon his son Hunter without any conditions, despite previously stating he wouldn’t. This pardon clears Hunter of his legal issues, such as a federal conviction for purchasing a gun unlawfully and for tax evasion. President Biden used his authority as President to dismiss these past legal troubles.
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.
He explained that he decided to take action because he believed the accusations against Hunter were driven by politics and intended to damage his reputation in the political sphere.
In a statement, Mr. Biden claimed that the charges against his son, Hunter, were brought forth by some of his political rivals in Congress to undermine him and his election campaign. He believes that anyone who examines the details of Hunter’s cases would agree that he was targeted solely because he is his son, which he views as 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 attacks and biased prosecution. By targeting Hunter, they are also targeting him, and he believes that this pattern will continue unless action is taken. He expressed that he has had enough of this situation.
This man experienced a significant change in his beliefs and actions, considering his long career and presidency focused on upholding justice without interference. In 2020 and again in 2024, he advocated for removing former President Donald J. Trump from office to uphold independence in America’s democracy.
