[WASHINGTON DC]
President Joe Biden has pardoned his son Hunter Biden tonight, a complete reversal for the President who claimed he would not use his executive authority on his son.
"I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice — and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision," Biden said in a statement.
"No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong," Biden said in his statement. "There has been an effort to break Hunter — who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me — and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough."
As President Biden nears the end of his term at age 82, he granted this pardon to eliminate the chance Hunter would serve time in jail. Apparently President Biden decided over the weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to let senior aides know on Sunday.
