In a surprising turn, President Joe Biden has granted clemency to his son Hunter Biden, shielding him from potential prison time related to tax evasion and illegal possession of a firearm. This decision has sparked criticism from his successor, Donald Trump, who labeled it a ‘misuse of justice.’ Hunter acknowledged the clemency, reflecting on his struggles with addiction. Biden defended his decision, claiming political motives behind the legal actions against Hunter, and noted that similar cases had not faced prosecution. The clemency comes just weeks before Hunter’s sentencing was due.
