President Biden Pardons Hunter Biden After Repeatedly Vowing Not To

President Biden issued a pardon for his son Hunter Biden Sunday evening in a major reversal after Joe Biden repeatedly vowed not to use his executive authority to intervene in his son’s criminal cases. Hunter Biden was set to be sentenced on December 12 for his federal gun conviction and on December 16 for his California tax evasion case. President Biden said he made the decision because the charges against Hunter were politically motivated and “instigated” by his rivals, saying his son was “singled out only because he is my son.”
