Joe Biden pardons his son Hunter, Trump calls it 'miscarriage of justice' | N18G

President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, on Sunday, sparing him from potential prison time for federal felony gun and tax convictions. This decision reverses Biden's earlier stance, where he had vowed not to use presidential powers to benefit family members. Hunter had been convicted in June of lying on a gun background check form and illegally possessing a firearm, and he had pleaded guilty to tax charges. Despite Biden's previous denials of pardoning his son, he claimed that the legal proceedings were politically motivated and that Hunter was unfairly targeted because of his family connection. This decision comes just weeks before Hunter was to be sentenced, amid ongoing Republican criticism of his past business dealings. Biden expressed that his decision was influenced by a desire to protect his son from what he perceived as a miscarriage of justice, also reflecting on his own fatherly role during Hunter's recovery from drug addiction. President-elect Donald Trump has called Biden's decision as 'an abuse and miscarriage of justice'.
