President Biden Grants Pardon to Son Hunter Biden in the U.S.

Foreks - In a significant turn of events, President Joe Biden on Sunday night decided to pardon his son Hunter, backtracking on his previous statements that he would not use executive power to forgive or mitigate his son's punishment. Biden remarked, "I believe in the justice system, but I also believe that as we grapple with this, raw politics has entered into the process and led to the misapplication of justice — and after making this decision this weekend, there was no sense in further delay. I hope Americans understand why a father and a President came to this decision." Hunter Biden is scheduled to be sentenced on December 12 for federal gun charges. He is also set to be sentenced on December 16 in a separate criminal case where he accepted federal tax evasion charges in September. The pardon is expected to cover both the gun charge conviction and the guilty finding. A senior White House official stated that the President decided to pardon his son over the weekend and began informing senior aides on Sunday.
