Biden Signs Pardon for Hunter

Washington: U.S. President Joe Biden has signed a pardon for his son Hunter Biden on two criminal charges and claimed that the actions were politically motivated.

In a statement released by the White House, Mr. Biden asserted that the motivation was political. He said, “Today, I have signed a pardon for my son, Hunter.” The president reminded that at the beginning of his tenure, he had promised not to interfere in the decision-making process of the Department of Justice, and despite the “selective and inappropriate prosecution” of his son, he fulfilled that promise.
