Hunter Biden receives a pardon from President Biden


President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, reversing his previous stance of not using his executive authority to pardon or commute his son’s sentence. This decision was made due to what the president described as a “miscarriage of justice” influenced by raw politics. Hunter was set to be sentenced for federal gun charges and tax evasion, among others.

The pardon grants Hunter immunity for any offenses from 2014 to 2024. Joe Biden highlighted his son’s struggles with addiction and criticized the politicization of his case. Hunter also acknowledged his mistakes and expressed gratitude for the clemency. The former Trump administration spokesperson criticized the decision, referring to previous investigations into Hunter Biden’s dealings.

The president had repeatedly stated that he would not pardon his son but had discussed the matter with close aides since Hunter’s conviction in June. White House officials had maintained the stance that Joe Biden would not pardon his son, with the first lady also supporting this position. Hunter Biden’s legal troubles had attracted significant public scrutiny and political backlash, with Republicans accusing the Biden family of corruption.

Several former officials suggested that a pardon for Hunter Biden was within the president’s power and should be considered. Despite the mixed public and political reactions, the pardon offers Hunter a fresh start as he continues on his path of recovery and redemption.
