President Biden Issues Full Pardon for Son Hunter Biden Over Gun and Tax Offenses

Dec 2, 2024, 03:12 PM

President Joe Biden has issued a full and unconditional pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, who was convicted in June on charges related to gun and tax offenses. The pardon was announced on Sunday night, just weeks before Biden is set to leave office. This decision marks a reversal from earlier statements by the White House and the president, who had previously insisted he would not pardon his son. The move is expected to spark significant reactions on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers have been investigating Hunter Biden's business dealings for years.
