JOE BIDEN ISSUES 'FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL' PARDON FOR SON HUNTER

In a surprise move, US President Joe Biden has issued a full and unconditional pardon for his son, Hunter Biden. The pardon, which was announced on December 1, 2024, covers all offenses committed by Hunter Biden between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.

Hunter Biden had been facing serious charges related to tax evasion and gun possession. In September, he pleaded guilty to nine tax offenses related to over $1.4 million in unpaid taxes. He was also convicted in June 2024 of possessing a firearm while being an illegal drug user.

President Biden's decision to pardon his son has sparked controversy, with many questioning whether the move is an abuse of presidential power. However, the President has defended his decision, stating that Hunter was "singled out" and treated unfairly by the justice system.

In a statement, President Biden said, "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." He also emphasized that people with addiction issues, like Hunter, are typically given non-criminal resolutions.

The pardon has significant implications, as it means Hunter Biden will not face sentencing or prison time for his crimes. It also raises questions about political influence and the justice system.

Hunter Biden's past has been marred by controversy, including struggles with addiction and allegations of improper business dealings. However, his father's pardon has sparked a new debate about the use of presidential power and the fairness of the justice system.
