Hunter Biden is pardoned by President Biden


President Joe Biden announced on Sunday night that he had pardoned his son Hunter Biden, reversing his previous stance on not using executive authority to pardon him or commute his sentence. The pardon was granted for any offenses Hunter committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024. The decision was made over the weekend, with Biden citing the politicization of the justice system that led to a miscarriage of justice. He emphasized the challenges Hunter faced due to his addiction and how his opponents tried to exploit it.

Hunter Biden, who was facing sentencing for federal gun charges and tax evasion, expressed his gratitude for the clemency granted and vowed to help others struggling with addiction. The decision to pardon Hunter has received criticism from Republicans, who had previously accused him of corruption. Despite the potential backlash, Biden proceeded with the pardon to ensure his son didn’t face jail time.

The White House had previously stated that the president would not pardon Hunter but then decided to grant clemency, prompting speculation and debates on the timing and implications of the decision. Some former officials supported the pardon, noting that the president has the authority to exercise clemency. Overall, the pardon has sparked mixed reactions, with some questioning the motivations behind it and others applauding the president’s support for his son.
