Monday, December 2, 2024 - President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, after he was convicted in two separate federal cases earlier this year.
The White House made the announcement on
Sunday night.
Hunter, 54, had pleaded guilty in a separate
felony tax case in September.
He was also found guilty of making a false
statement in a gun case.
“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,”
Biden wrote in a statement.
“From the day I took office, I said I would
not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word
even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”
“It is clear that Hunter was treated
differently.”
Fox News reports that Biden pardoning his son
marks a departure from his previous remarks to the media declaring he would not
pardon the first son.
