President Biden decided to pardon his son Hunter on Sunday night, despite previously saying he wouldn’t. By using his presidential power, Biden cleared Hunter of past legal issues such as illegally purchasing a gun and evading taxes.
Mr. Biden announced through a White House statement that he has chosen to grant his son clemency for any offenses he may have been involved in 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 motives and intended to damage his political career.
In a statement, Mr. Biden claimed that the charges against his son, Hunter, were prompted by his political opponents in Congress to harm his reputation and hinder his chances of winning the election. He believes that anyone who examines the facts of Hunter’s cases would see that he was targeted solely because of their relationship, which he considers unjust.
He stated that there have been attempts to undermine Hunter, who has remained sober for five and a half years despite constant criticism and targeted legal action. These efforts to undermine Hunter have also been directed towards him, and he fears that the attacks will not end. He believes it is time for the harassment to stop.
This man experienced a significant change in his beliefs and actions, considering his long career and presidency were based on the principle of not getting involved in justice matters. In 2020 and 2024, he argued that Donald J. Trump should be removed from office to uphold the independence of America’s democracy.
