On Sunday night, President Biden pardoned his son Hunter without any conditions, despite previously stating he would not do so. He utilized his presidential authority to dismiss Hunter’s legal issues, which included a federal conviction for purchasing a gun unlawfully and committing tax evasion.
President Biden announced in a statement from the White House that he has chosen 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 chose to make the decision because he believed the accusations against Hunter were driven by political agendas and intended to harm him politically.
In a statement, Mr. Biden claimed that the charges against his son were brought about by his political opponents in Congress in order to undermine him and his election campaign. He argued that anyone who examines the details of Hunter’s cases would see that he was targeted solely because he is his son, which he believes is unfair.
He stated that there has been a deliberate attempt to undermine Hunter, who has maintained his sobriety for five and a half years despite facing constant attacks and unfair legal action. The speaker believes that this attempt to undermine Hunter is also an attempt to undermine him, and he fears that the attacks will continue. He expressed frustration and stated that it is time for the mistreatment to come to an end.
This man had a significant change in his beliefs and actions, considering his presidency and long career were based on the principle of not interfering with the legal system. In 2020 and again in 2024, he advocated for removing former President Donald J. Trump from office to uphold the independence of America’s democracy.
