President Biden to Pardon Son Hunter Biden

The president defends his decision, claiming Hunter Biden faced selective and unfair prosecution.

President Joe Biden has announced his intention to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, who has faced legal challenges related to tax and gun charges.
The decision has drawn significant public and political attention, as Hunter Biden's legal troubles have been a focal point for critics of the Biden administration.
In a statement, President Biden asserted that Hunter was subjected to selective and unfair prosecution, emphasizing his belief in the necessity of the pardon.
The announcement comes as the Biden administration navigates a politically charged transition period, with President-elect Donald Trump preparing to take office in January 2025.
This marks a rare instance of a sitting president pardoning a close family member, adding to the broader scrutiny of presidential pardon powers.
