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 for tax evasion. Biden utilized his presidential authority to grant this pardon.
The White House released a statement from President Biden announcing his decision to grant his son executive clemency 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 charges against Hunter were driven by political motives and intended to damage him politically.
In a statement, Mr. Biden claimed that his opponents in Congress were behind the charges against his son, Hunter, in an attempt to sabotage his own political career. He believes that the facts of Hunter’s cases clearly show that he was targeted due to his relationship to Mr. Biden, which he views as 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 prosecution. By targeting Hunter, they are also targeting him, and he believes this pattern of behavior will continue if not stopped. He expresses frustration and calls for an end to these actions.
A man who had always emphasized the importance of not meddling in the administration of justice experienced a significant change in his stance in 2020 and again in 2024. He believed that former President Donald J. Trump should be removed from office to uphold the independence of America’s democracy. This shift was unexpected considering his long presidency and career were founded on the principle of non-interference with justice.
