  • President Biden pardoned his son, reversing a previous pledge and saying "it is clear that Hunter was treated differently" than others in the justice system.

The article from TPR.org, published on December 1, 2024, discusses President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. Hunter had been convicted on charges related to tax evasion and illegal firearm possession. The pardon has sparked significant controversy, with critics arguing it represents a misuse of presidential power for personal gain. Supporters, however, view it as an act of familial compassion, highlighting Hunter's struggles with addiction and personal loss. The move has reignited debates about the ethics of presidential pardons, the influence of family ties in legal matters, and the potential implications for the Biden administration's image and future political landscape.
