President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he has pardoned his son Hunter Biden, who faced sentencing this month for federal tax and gun convictions, marking a reversal as he prepares to leave office. The announcement came as the president had long insisted he would not use his executive power to pardon his son or commute his sentence.
“I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe that raw politics have tainted this process, leading to a miscarriage of justice. Once I made this decision this weekend, there was no reason to delay it any further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would make such a choice,” President Biden said. #CVMTV
