Biden Pardons Son Hunter Amidst Controversy and Criticism

President Joe Biden has issued a full and unconditional pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, who faced federal felony gun and tax convictions. Despite initially ruling out a pardon, Biden cited political pressure and selective prosecution as reasons for his decision, arguing that Hunter was unfairly targeted due to his familial connection. The pardon covers offenses from January 2014 to December 2024, and Biden expressed hope that Americans would understand his decision as both a father and a president.
