Writing from the nation
President Biden decided to pardon his son Hunter on Sunday night, despite previously stating he would not do so. This pardon clears Hunter of all legal issues, such as a federal conviction for purchasing a gun illegally and tax evasion. Biden used his presidential authority to grant this pardon.
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 stated that he decided to make the choice because he believed the accusations against Hunter were driven by political motivations and intended to harm his political career.
In a statement, Mr. Biden claimed that the accusations against his son were the result of his political opponents in Congress targeting him and trying to hinder his election. He believes that anyone who examines the details of Hunter’s cases would see that he was unfairly targeted because he is his son, which he believes is unjust.
He stated that there has been an attempt to undermine Hunter, who has remained sober for five and a half years despite facing constant attacks and biased prosecution. They have also tried to undermine him in the process. He believes that this behavior will not end here and declares that it is time to put an end to it.
The man experienced a significant change in direction, considering his presidency and long career were based on the principle of not getting involved in legal matters. In 2020 and 2024, he advocated for removing former President Donald J. Trump from office to uphold the independence of America’s democracy.
