Joe Biden has issued “a full and unconditional” pardon to his son Hunter Biden, covering convictions on federal gun and tax charges. The decision marks a reversal for the president, who had repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. In the statement, Joe Biden said that he had long maintained that he 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”. But, he argued, “it is clear that Hunter was treated differently”, adding that the charges in the case “came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election”. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
