Biden pardons his son
Manchester Evening News|December 03, 2024
UNITED States President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, late on Sunday, sparing the younger Mr Biden a possible prison sentence for federal felony gun and tax convictions - and reversing his past promises not to use the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his family members.

The Democratic president had previously said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence, after his convictions in the two cases in Delaware and California. The move comes weeks before Hunter Biden was set to receive his punishment after his trial conviction in the gun case and guilty plea on tax charges, and less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to the White House.

It caps a long-running legal saga for the president's son, who publicly disclosed he was under federal investigation in December 2020 - a month after Joe Biden's 2020 Victory.
