Biden granted pardon to his son

Despite multiple promises to the contrary, sitting US President Joe Biden signed a pardon for his son Hunter in two lawsuits against him, TASS reports


“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,” the White House statement said.

According to the American leader, “The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election.”

“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. 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,” explained Biden his decision.

The statement covers charges against Hunter Biden in states of Delaware and California. In Delaware, he was charged with gun law violations and declared guilty. In California, US President’s son pleaded guilty to tax fraud.
