On December 2nd 2024, Biden’s official pardon of his son was announced in a statement put out by the White House on Sunday, despite the president’s long-held conviction that he would accept the outcome of his son’s trial. Biden previously said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence after convictions in the two cases in Delaware and California.
In a statement the current president said that his son had been “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted” by the Justice Department and that he hoped the American people would understand his decision as a father.
President elect Donald Trump was quick to react to news of Hunter Biden’s presidential pardon on Sunday night, blasting the decision as “an abuse and miscarriage of Justice.”
In a short post to his social media platform less than an hour after the official announcement, the president elect Donald Trump wrote: “Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!”.
More than 1,500 people have been charged in connection with the incident, during which Trump whipped a group of his supporters into a frenzy nearly four years ago.
In a statement released, Biden said, “ 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.”
He continued saying, “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 president’s sweeping pardon covers not just the gun and tax offenses against the younger Biden, but also any other “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.”
