WASHINGTON – In a stunning reversal, President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he pardoned his son Hunter Biden who was convicted of three federal gun felonies and federal tax charges earlier this year.
“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” the president said in a statement. “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.”
Joe Biden said he believes in the justice system but believes “raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further.”
