President Joe Biden pardons his son Hunter, despite Biden and the White House repeatedly denying that he did.
The pardon comes before Hunter’s Dec. 12 conviction for his conviction on federal gun charges, as well as the upcoming Dec. 16 sentence in a separate criminal case in which he pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion charges.
The pardon, which is “complete and unconditional,” is expected to include both a conviction and conviction of a gun, and includes offenses “that he has committed, or may have committed, or participated in” for a period of nearly 11 years from January 1, 2014 to December 1, 2024. Including the one Donald Trump was accused of asking.
Biden said in a statement that his own Department of Justice treated Hunter “differently,” adding that the accusations only arose “after several of my political opponents in Congress urged them to attack me and oppose my election.”
“In trying to break Hunter, they’ve been trying to break me,” Biden continued, adding, “Enough is enough.”

In recent months, Biden has said he won’t pardon Hunter…
“I’m not pardon him,” Biden said in June. However, according to NBC News, Biden has been discussing a pardon with his closest aides since Hunter’s June conviction, adding that a decision was made at the time that the president was lying and saying he won’t pardon him.
In November, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reiterated that Joe’s position had not changed.
“We’ve been asked this question many times. Our answer is ‘no’,” he said.
And when asked Monday if Biden was still committed not to pardon Hunter, White House spokesman Andrew Bates said, “The president has talked about it.”
Jill Biden also said Hunter wouldn’t get a pardon.
“Joe and I both respect the justice system, and that’s the end result,” he told NBC News in June.
