President Biden Issues Full Pardon for Son Hunter Covering All Crimes from Past 11 Years

Dec 2, 2024, 01:41 AM

President Joe Biden has issued a full and unconditional pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, covering all crimes he may have committed in the past 11 years. This pardon reverses Biden's previous promises not to use his presidential powers to benefit family members. Hunter Biden was convicted on federal felony gun and tax charges, including making false statements on a gun background check, illegal possession of a firearm, and tax evasion. He was scheduled to be sentenced later this month. The pardon comes as Biden prepares to leave office.
