On Sunday night, President Biden granted his son Hunter a complete and unrestricted pardon, going back on his previous statements that he would not take such action. By utilizing his presidential authority, he dismissed Hunter’s past legal issues, which included a federal gun purchase conviction and tax evasion charges.
In a statement released by the White House, President Biden announced that he had chosen to grant clemency to his son for any offenses he may have committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.
He mentioned that he decided to take action because he believed the accusations against Hunter were driven by political motives and intended to damage his reputation in the political sphere.
Mr. Biden claimed that his political opponents in Congress were behind the charges brought against his son, Hunter, in an attempt to undermine him and his election. He believes that looking at the facts of Hunter’s cases makes it clear that he was targeted solely because of his relation to Mr. Biden, which he considers unfair.
He also mentioned that there has been a deliberate attempt to undermine Hunter, who has managed to stay sober for five and a half years despite facing constant attacks and biased prosecution. By targeting Hunter, they are also trying to target him, and he fears that this will not end here. He believes that enough is enough.
This man’s presidency and long career were based on the principle of not interfering with the justice system, but he experienced a significant change in 2020. He believed that former President Donald J. Trump should be removed from office to uphold independence in America’s democracy, and he continued to advocate for this in 2024.
