Joe Biden Pardons Son Hunter Biden for Gun and Tax Fraud Charges, Citing Judicial Error
Dec 2, 2024, 06:41 AM
In an unexpected move, U.S. President Joe Biden has issued a full and unconditional pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, who was convicted of illegal firearm possession and tax fraud. The pardon covers all offenses committed by Hunter Biden from January 2014 to December 2024. President Biden justified the pardon by stating that his son had been 'punished too harshly' and suggested that the judicial process was politically motivated. This decision comes as Biden's term in office is nearing its end, and he had previously promised not to intervene in legal matters involving his family. Hunter faced up to 25 years in prison before the pardon, which Biden described as a correction of a judicial error.
