The current President of United States of America Joe Biden has announced the pardon of his son Hunter Biden, who had been sentenced for charges related to possessing a illegal weapon and who had also admitted to tax related crimes earlier this year.
According to foreign media, this pardon was confirmed in a statement from the White House yesterday, according to which Biden has signed the pardon for his son Hunter. He claimed that he had kept his promise to refrain from interfering in decisions made by the US Department of Justice .
On the other hand, President Joe Biden said that charges against Hunter Biden as “selective and unfair,” arguing that his son had been targeted because of their family connection.
Hunter Biden, who has been free from drug addiction for over five years, has faced scrutiny and legal challenges that President Joe Biden described as political opposition attempts.
According to U.S. President Joe Biden, any reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s case cannot come to any other conclusion than that his son was targeted simply because he is his son.
President Biden disclosed that the decision was made during the Thanksgiving weekend, which the Biden family spent in the Nantucket area of Massachusetts. The President, First Lady Jill Biden, and other family members returned to Washington on Saturday night.
Joe Biden expressed that he believes in the justice system, but politics had influenced the process, resulting in the termination of justice. “I hope the American people will understand why a father and a president made this decision.”
