Biden Pardons His Son.
US President Joe Biden has decided to pardon his son Hunter Biden, who was sentenced for crimes related to illegal possession of firearms and tax offenses.
I have signed an order pardoning my son Hunter. It is 'a full and unconditional pardon'
It is noted that this official pardon cannot be revoked by President Donald Trump.
According to CNN, with this act, Biden has backed away from a public promise he made before and after the 2024 presidential race.
In a previously issued public statement, the president and his spokesperson in the White House claimed that Hunter Biden would not be pardoned and his sentence would not be commuted, even after Trump's victory in the 2024 elections.
A pardon means that Hunter Biden will not be prosecuted for his crimes and will not go to jail.
After receiving the notice of the pardon, the judges reviewing Hunter Biden's cases will cancel the sentencing hearings scheduled for December 12 and 16 respectively.
Biden explained that he pardoned his son because he believes that he has been 'unfairly targeted' and treated differently than other criminals.
The president also stated that his political opponents in Congress attempted to 'frame' his son in order to compromise him.
