On Sunday night, President Biden decided to pardon his son Hunter without any conditions, despite previously stating he would not do so. By utilizing his presidential authority, he dismissed Hunter’s various legal issues, such as a federal conviction for gun purchase and tax evasion.
The White House released a statement saying that President Biden has chosen to grant clemency to his son for any offenses he may have been involved in 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 intentions to damage his reputation in the political sphere.
In a statement, Mr. Biden claimed that the charges against his son were brought forth by his political opponents in Congress to undermine his campaign. He believes that looking at the facts of Hunter’s cases would lead anyone to conclude that Hunter was targeted because he is his son, which he considers 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 selective prosecution. He also mentioned that they have tried to undermine him as well, and it is likely that the attacks will continue. He expressed that he has reached his limit and cannot tolerate it any longer.
A man who had a long career and presidency based on the principle of not meddling in justice saw a significant change in his stance. In 2020 and 2024, he advocated for removing former President Donald J. Trump from office to uphold the independence of America’s democracy.
