President Joe Biden Pardons Son Hunter Biden
HuffPost
"No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out," the president wrote.
President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, on Sunday, a stunning reversal after long pledging not to intervene in a series of embarrassing prosecutions.
“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,” the president said in a statement, adding, “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong.”
The pardon applies to any offenses Hunter Biden “has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.”
Hunter Biden was found guilty in June of illegally owning a gun in 2018 after the Justice Department filed rarely prosecuted charges against him. In September, he also pleaded guilty to not paying his taxes on time to avoid another public trial.
He was set to be sentenced later this month. While the gun charges come with a maximum sentence of 25 years and the tax charges a sentence of up to 17 years, many experts say he was likely to serve no more than 36 months and possibly less, or even just probation.
