President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, on tax evasion and federal gun charges. Hunter Biden was due for sentencing in December, however, with this pardon he will walk free. The announcement came through on Sunday evening that he was pardoned.

President Biden’s original take on the situation was that he was not going to get involved with the Department of Justice’s decision. However, that decision changed. In a statement he said: “Today, I sign a pardon for my son Hunter.”

He continued: “From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Departments decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively and unfairly prosecuted.”

President Biden also mentioned “political opponents in Congress,” whom he credited for instigating the charges and for ensuring that a plea deal that was composed in July fell apart in August.

The statement concluded with “Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weeke,d there was no sense in denying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.”
