How President Biden came to the decision to pardon his son Hunter

//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. me-to-the-decision-to-pardon-his-son-hunter.html

Published in Politics and Government on Monday, December 2nd 2024 at 11:00 GMT by Brian Stokes
^{🞛 This publication is a summary or evaluation of another publication 🞛 This publication contains editorial commentary or bias from the source}

The Biden family discussed the pardon for Hunter Biden during the Thanksgiving holiday in Nantucket, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News.

President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, was influenced by a series of events and considerations, as detailed in an article by MSN. The decision came after Hunter was convicted on federal gun charges related to a 2018 incident where he falsely stated on a firearm purchase form that he was not using or addicted to drugs. The legal proceedings and the potential political fallout were significant factors. The article outlines how President Biden, after much internal debate and family discussions, chose to use his presidential pardon power to shield his son from further legal consequences, aiming to mitigate the personal and political damage. This move was seen as controversial, with critics arguing it represented a conflict of interest and an abuse of presidential power, while supporters viewed it as a father's protective act amidst a backdrop of Hunter's well-documented struggles with addiction. The decision was also framed within the context of Biden's campaign promises regarding justice and fairness, highlighting the complex interplay between personal family issues and public office responsibilities.
