“Joe Biden has issued ‘a full and unconditional’ pardon to his son Hunter Biden covering convictions on federal gun and tax charges, the US president said in a statement released by the White House on Sunday. … Biden said that he had long maintained that he 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.’ But, he argued, ‘it is clear that Hunter was treated differently,’ adding that the charges in the case ‘came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election.'” (12/01/24)
