Shortly before leaving the White House, US President Joe Biden announced Sunday, December 1, that he had given presidential pardon to his son Hunter, found guilty of tax fraud and illegal acquisition of a firearm.
“When objectively examines the facts concerning Hunter, it is impossible to reach another conclusion: it was targeted only because he is my son. And that is unfair, “said Biden in a declaration transmitted by the White House.
Despite his multiple public declarations claiming that he would not grant a grace for his son, especially in September through his spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre, the president finally chose to grant total and unconditional forgiveness. This gesture covers all the offenses committed or presumed, as well as any participation in crimes, over a period from January 1, 2014 to December 1, 2024.
