Biden Gives Pardon To Son Hunter Amid Controversy

President Joe Biden has formally pardoned his son, Hunter Biden after Hunter faced convictions in two separate cases earlier this year.

The notification was disclosed by the White House on Sunday evening.

Hunter, 54-year-old has previously pleaded guilty in September to a felony tax charge and was also convicted of making false statements in relation to a gun case.

In the statement, Biden disclosed that, “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,”.

“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.”

“It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.”

Fox News reports that Biden pardoning his son marks a departure from his earlier statements to the media declaring he would not pardon the first son.
