  • Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Sunday night, a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.

President Joe Biden has issued a full and unconditional pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, amidst ongoing legal challenges related to tax evasion and a firearm charge. This decision comes after Hunter Biden faced significant legal scrutiny, including investigations into his business dealings and personal conduct. The pardon effectively clears Hunter of all federal charges, though it does not extend to any potential state charges. The move has sparked considerable controversy, with critics arguing it represents a misuse of presidential power for personal gain, while supporters see it as a father's act to protect his son from what they perceive as politically motivated prosecutions. This action by President Biden is seen as an attempt to mitigate the political fallout and personal distress caused by his son's legal issues.
