A new book has revealed that former President Joe Biden issued a full and unconditional pardon to his son Hunter, a decision that reportedly shocked Justice Department officials and dismayed some of his most loyal supporters.
According to reliable sources, this pardon came after years of President Biden resisting claims that the legal system had been politicized. The situation unfolded this way: Shortly after Thanksgiving last year, President Biden declared, “Enough is enough,” citing what he termed “raw politics” infecting the judicial process.
Hunter Biden faced potential prison time for federal felony gun and tax convictions. The pardon effectively nullified these charges and contradicted the President’s previous assurances that he would not use his executive powers to benefit family members.
This development follows earlier reports that Hunter Biden was convicted of three felony charges related to a 2018 firearm purchase. Prosecutors argued that the younger Biden falsified information on a mandatory gun purchase form regarding his drug use status.
The book, authored by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf, suggests that Hunter Biden’s legal troubles contributed significantly to his father’s political downfall. President Biden was removed from the Democratic ticket for the 2024 election following what has been described as a “disastrous debate performance” against former President Trump.
Supporters of the President may view the pardon as a necessary response to perceived political persecution. Critics, however, are likely to see it as an abuse of presidential power for personal benefit.
This raises important questions about the intersection of family loyalty, presidential authority, and the integrity of the justice system.
