Writing from the capital
President Biden decided to pardon his son Hunter on Sunday night, despite previously claiming he would not do so. This pardon clears Hunter of any legal issues, such as a federal conviction for buying a gun illegally and tax evasion. Biden used his presidential powers to grant this pardon.
The White House released a statement in which President Biden announced his decision to grant clemency to his son 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 with the intention of damaging his political career.
Mr. Biden stated that the charges against his son were initiated by his political opponents in Congress to undermine him and his election campaign. He believes that the only reason Hunter was targeted in these cases is because he is his son, and this is unjust.
He stated that there have been attempts to undermine Hunter, who has been sober for five and a half years despite facing constant attacks and unfair treatment. These attempts to undermine Hunter have also affected 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, as his presidency and long career were based on the principle of not influencing the justice system. He advocated for the removal of former President Donald J. Trump in 2020 and again in 2024 to uphold the independence of America’s democracy.
