Joe Biden has used his presidential pardon energy to grant clemency to a number of members of the family on his final day, elevating critical questions on corruption, nepotism, and abuse of energy on the highest ranges of presidency.
Biden pardoned James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden for any nonviolent offenses they could have dedicated from January 1, 2014, via the date of the pardon.
On December 1, 2024, President Biden granted a full and unconditional pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, masking all federal offenses dedicated between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.
This sweeping pardon encompasses Hunter’s convictions on tax evasion and unlawful firearm possession, in addition to some other potential federal crimes throughout that interval.
This motion not solely contradicts President Biden’s earlier guarantees to not pardon his son but additionally undermines the integrity of the justice system.
Particular Counsel David Weiss, who led the investigation into Hunter Biden, refuted claims of selective prosecution, stating that the fees had been primarily based on stable proof and in step with federal prosecution rules.
This can be a growing story.
