Biden Pardons Son Hunter Amid Legal Controversy

President Joe Biden has issued a full pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, ahead of his sentencing for federal gun and tax-related charges. The decision marks a significant reversal from Biden's previous stance that he would not pardon his son, as he cited 'selective prosecution' and political motivations behind the charges. Biden argued that the legal actions against Hunter were harsher than usual for similar cases, particularly given Hunter's five-year sobriety and efforts to rectify his tax issues. The president claimed political opponents in Congress instigated the charges to undermine his presidency, leading to what he described as a 'miscarriage of justice.' This pardon has sparked controversy, with supporters viewing it as a defense of family, while critics accuse Biden of undermining the legal process. Hunter Biden is facing sentencing for gun charges on December 12 and tax charges on December 16.
