Washington, D.C.,December 02,2024:
President Joe Biden issued a pardon for his son Hunter Biden, convicted of gun-related charges and tax fraud. Biden justified the decision, citing Hunter’s struggles with addiction and asserting that the legal actions against him were disproportionate compared to similar cases. The President described the pardon as addressing what he called a “miscarriage of justice” influenced by political motives.
Biden emphasized fairness and justice in his defense, accusing opponents of politicizing the legal system. The decision sparked debate, with supporters praising its compassion and critics accusing Biden of abusing presidential authority.
Former President Donald Trump condemned the move, calling it an “abuse of power” and pledging, if elected, to pardon January 6 rioters. Trump accused Biden of undermining the rule of law and showing favoritism through the pardon.
The decision has further polarized the political landscape. Republicans criticized the pardon as favoritism, while Democrats defended Biden’s actions. The controversy is expected to influence the 2024 presidential race significantly.
