In a surprising decision, outgoing President Joe Biden has granted a pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, who faced accusations of tax evasion and illegal possession of a firearm. Biden stated that his son’s legal troubles were politically motivated and that Hunter was unfairly targeted due to his relationship with the President. This pardon addresses federal offenses, while potential state-level charges remain unresolved. The announcement comes shortly before Hunter’s sentencing, which could entail significant prison time.
