Joe Biden Goes Soft on His Son, Pardons Hunter in Guns, Tax Evasion Cases

Biden Pardons Hunter: US President Joe Biden issued a pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, on Sunday, sparing him from potential prison sentences related to federal felony gun and tax convictions. This decision marks a significant shift from Biden's previous commitments not to use presidential powers for personal family matters.

Biden’s Justification for the Pardon

In a statement, Biden emphasized the fairness of his decision:
"I have watched my son being selectively and unfairly prosecuted. No reasonable person looking at the facts can conclude otherwise."

Hunter Biden, a recovering drug addict, became a political target for Republicans. His legal troubles included a trial conviction for lying on a federal gun application and a guilty plea to tax charges. Biden claimed his son's treatment deviated from standard procedures, where non-criminal resolutions are typical for similar tax offenses.

Timing and Context of the Decision

The pardon, made during the Thanksgiving weekend with family, comes weeks before Hunter's sentencing and less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump assumes office. Biden said he believes political bias influenced the case, describing it as a "miscarriage of justice."

"I believe in the justice system, but raw politics has infected this process," Biden stated, adding that attacks on Hunter were attempts to weaken him as a father and a president.

Trump and Republican Criticism

President-elect Donald Trump criticized the move, calling it a misuse of presidential power:
"Such an abuse and miscarriage of justice!"

Republicans argue that the pardon reflects preferential treatment for Biden's family, undermining justice.

This controversial decision has sparked a national debate, with Republicans vowing to scrutinize the pardon closely.
