Joe Biden pardons son Hunter of all criminal charges

President Joe Biden announced Sunday he signed a pardon for his son Hunter, a sharp reversal from his previous position that he would not do so after the first son was convicted of tax and gun felonies this year.

The president said in a statement that he struggled with the decision but concluded over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend that his son was “treated differently” during the Department of Justice‘s nearly six-year investigation and prosecution of his son.
