President Biden pardons his son Hunter despite saying he wouldn't

Dec 1, 2024
President Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, after the first son was convicted in two separate federal cases earlier this year.

"Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter," Biden wrote in a statement. "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."

The announcement was made by the White House on Sunday night.
