President Biden decided to pardon his son Hunter on Sunday night, despite previously stating he would not do so. By using his presidential authority, Biden overlooked Hunter’s past legal issues, such as a federal conviction for purchasing a gun illegally and tax evasion.
The White House released a statement from President Biden announcing his decision to grant his son 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 accusations against Hunter were driven by political motives and intended to harm him politically.
In a statement, Mr. Biden claimed that the charges against his son were brought forward by his political rivals in Congress to undermine him and his election campaign. He believes that anyone who examines the details of Hunter’s cases would see that he was targeted simply because he is his son, which he considers to be unfair.
He continued by saying that there has been a deliberate attempt to undermine Hunter, who has maintained five and a half years of sobriety despite facing continuous attacks and biased legal action. By targeting Hunter, they are also trying to undermine him, and he believes this pattern of behavior will not end. He expressed that the situation has reached a breaking point and it is time to put a stop to it.
This man experienced a significant change in his stance on interfering with the administration of justice, despite his previous reputation for never doing so during his presidency and long career. He believed in 2020 and again in 2024 that former President Donald J. Trump should be removed from office to uphold the independence of America’s democracy.
