Biden Pardons Hunter Biden for Gun and Tax Charges, Citing Political Reasons

Dec 2, 2024, 05:42 AM

President Joe Biden has issued a 'full and unconditional' pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, for federal gun and tax charges. The pardon comes just days before Hunter was scheduled to be sentenced, following convictions that Biden claims were the result of political motivations. Biden stated that his son was 'singled out' in a 'selective prosecution' instigated by his political opponents in Congress. This decision marks a significant U-turn from previous statements by Biden and his aides, who had repeatedly said that a pardon would not be considered. The President issued the pardon weeks before leaving office, claiming the prosecution was politically motivated.
