President Joe Biden has announced that he would issue a presidential pardon for his son Hunter Biden for his alleged tax crimes and gun charges against his former conviction that he would not use his presidential position to protect his son from prosecution.
President Biden issued a pardon based on the fact that he said his son was a target of political persecution by the opposition party which he deemed selective and unfair to his only surviving son.
In a statement issued by the White House, the president said “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.”
The president said throughout his judicial and political career he has unfailingly followed the rules of the law and has upheld them and has been fair in implementing them to the highest standards in the country.
President Biden further stated that “Here’s the truth: 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.”
The decision to pardon his son came a few weeks before his son will be tried for crimes sentencing for a couple of felonies related to making a false statement about his drug use during a gun background check and failing to pay at least $1.4m in taxes.
Donald Trump, the President-elect has frowned at the decision of President Biden to use his presidential powers to protect his son from prosecution after all evidence suggested that he is guilty of the crimes charged against him.
President Trump, who was convicted of a series of crimes during the President Biden administration took to his Truth Social media page and said “Does the pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years?”.
He called the pardon a “Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!”
President Trump who is rumored to use the judicial system to go after his political opponents has vowed to fight the presidential pardon given to Hunter Biden.
