President Biden Pardons Son Hunter Biden, Reversing Promises on Federal Gun and Tax Charges
Dec 2, 2024, 12:45 AM
President Joe Biden has issued a pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, who was convicted earlier this year on federal gun and tax charges. The decision, announced Sunday night, spares Hunter Biden from a possible prison sentence and marks a reversal of the president's earlier promises not to use his executive authority to benefit family members. President Biden justified the pardon by stating that his son was "selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted" due to political motivations. Hunter Biden had been scheduled for sentencing on December 12, just weeks before the pardon.
