President Biden decided to grant his son Hunter a complete and unrestricted pardon on Sunday night, despite previously stating that he would not do so. By utilizing his presidential authority, he disregarded Hunter’s past legal issues, which included a federal conviction for gun purchase violations and tax evasion.
The White House released a statement in which President Biden announced his decision to grant clemency to his son for any offenses he may have committed from January 1, 2014, to 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 harm him politically.
Mr. Biden stated that the charges against his son only arose because his political opponents in Congress encouraged them in an effort to discredit him and hinder 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 over five years despite facing constant attacks and unfair prosecution. By targeting Hunter, they are also targeting him, and he believes that this pattern will continue if not stopped. He expressed that he has had enough of this behavior.
This man’s reputation and career, spanning five decades and his presidency, were known for his commitment to not interfering with the justice system. However, in 2020 and again in 2024, he argued for removing former President Donald J. Trump from office in order to uphold the independence of America’s democracy.
