On Sunday night, President Biden decided to pardon his son Hunter, despite previously claiming he wouldn’t. This pardon means that Hunter will not face any legal consequences for his past actions, including illegally purchasing a gun and evading taxes. President Biden used his presidential authority to forgive Hunter’s offenses.
The White House released a statement from President Biden announcing his decision 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 chose to make the decision because he believed the charges 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 forth by his political opponents in Congress in an attempt to sabotage his election campaign. He argued that anyone who examines the facts of Hunter’s cases would see that he was targeted solely because he is his son, which he believes is unjust.
He stated that there has been a deliberate attempt to undermine Hunter, who has maintained sobriety for five and a half years despite facing constant criticism and unfair treatment. By targeting Hunter, they are also trying to harm him, and he believes this pattern of attack will continue. He expressed that he has reached his limit and will not tolerate it any longer.
This man experienced a significant change in his beliefs, as his presidency and long career were based on the principle of not interfering with the justice system. By 2020, he believed that former President Donald J. Trump should be removed from office to uphold the independence of America’s democracy, and he continued to argue for this in 2024.
