Biden Pardons Son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has pardoned his son Hunter, who faced sentencing for federal gun and tax charges, reversing previous statements in which he ruled out pardoning him. Biden justified his decision by claiming that Hunter was 'selectively and unfairly prosecuted' due to his family ties, stating that 'raw politics' influenced the legal proceedings. This move comes after months of denials from the administration regarding any intention to grant clemency, raising accusations from critics that Biden misled the public. Rep. James Comer criticized the pardon, suggesting it was an attempt to evade accountability amid ongoing scrutiny of the Biden family's business dealings. Biden emphasized that the charges stemmed from political opposition, asserting that no reasonable person could conclude otherwise. Hunter was convicted of unlawfully possessing a firearm and lying on a purchase form, and his pardon encompasses any crimes committed in the past decade.
