Writing from the nation
On Sunday night, President Biden decided to pardon his son Hunter, despite previously stating he wouldn’t. This pardon cleared Hunter of all legal issues, including a federal conviction for illegally purchasing a gun and for tax evasion. Biden used his presidential authority to forgive these offenses.
The White House released a statement in which President Biden announced his decision to grant his son clemency 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 political motives and intended to damage his reputation in the political sphere.
In a statement, Mr. Biden stated that the charges against his son only arose because some of his political rivals in Congress instigated them to harm his reputation and hinder his chances of winning the election. He believes that anyone who examines the details of Hunter’s cases would come to the same conclusion that Hunter was targeted solely because he is his son, which he believes is unjust.
He mentioned that there have been attempts to undermine Hunter, who has maintained sobriety for five and a half years despite facing continuous attacks and unfair treatment. By targeting Hunter, they have also tried to target him, and he is concerned that the attacks may continue. He believes that it is time for the harassment to come to an end.
A man experienced a significant change in his stance on the interference with the justice system, despite his long history in politics. He believed in removing former President Donald J. Trump from office in 2020 and again in 2024 to uphold the independence of America’s democracy.
