President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, for federal felony gun and tax convictions on Sunday night, reversing his previous pledges not to intervene in his son's legal troubles. The pardon spares the younger Biden from a potential prison sentence. Biden's decision comes despite his earlier assurances that he would not pardon his son, with the President arguing that the investigations into Hunter were politically motivated and aimed at damaging his own political standing.
