The decision, which was first reported by NBC News, is a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.

Summary

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, reversing his prior stance against using executive clemency.

The pardon covers Hunter’s federal gun conviction and tax evasion guilty plea, sparking political controversy.

Biden cited political attacks and a “miscarriage of justice” as reasons for his decision, emphasizing his son’s recovery from addiction and the targeting of his family.

Critics argue the move undermines the judicial process, while supporters view it as within Biden’s constitutional powers.

This decision shields Hunter from potential prison time as Biden nears the end of his presidency.

      Americans voted in Trump, why should he do anything to sabotage Trump’s reign?

      That’s anti-democratic.

      spend his few remaining days in office helping Israel commit genocide

      That disinformation campaign sure did a number on you guys.

      Can’t wait for Trump to come in and save Palestine!

          So you think Biden should sabotage Trump’s term?

          That’s not democratic, which I said in my last comment.

          Americans want want Trump has to offer.

                  It just reads like you want him to try to sabotage Trump’s term, who has been democratically elected.

                  I thought this period was mostly getting things ready for the next president.

                    I’m sorry if you can’t understand my sentiment, even though we are in complete agreement on all of this and I have been quite clear. Yes, absolutely, Biden should do everything to help Trump after insisting, repeatedly, for the past several years that Trump and his agenda are catastrophic threats to American democracy and safety. This will surely help public perception of democrats and their sincerity moving forward.
