Hunter Biden was scheduled to be sentenced this month for tax evasion and illegal gun purchases.
US President Joe Biden has pardoned the punishment of his son Hunter Biden. According to the New York Times, he risked being punished for illegal possession of firearms and tax evasion.
Biden released a statement saying:
From the day I took office, I said that I would not intervene in the decisions of the Ministry of Justice. I kept that promise, but I saw that my son was being targeted. He was unjustly prosecuted.
Biden said he has full faith in law and order, but politics has corrupted him. This is a failure of the justice system. The president said that any sane person who has followed Hunter’s case would know that he was targeted only because he is my son.
The president said: “In an effort to destroy Hunter, some people also sought to weaken me. This doesn’t stop now, so I had to use my powers. The American people will understand why a father and a president made this decision. »
Hunter was granted clemency 2 days before his December 4 sentencing in Delaware court. The maximum penalty for illegally purchasing a firearm could be up to 25 years in prison, but according to many legal experts, since this was his first criminal case, he could have been sentenced to a sentence of 12 to 16 months.
Just two days before sentencing, Father Biden used his presidential powers to save his son. Before Hunter was convicted in June, Biden said he would never pardon his son if he was found guilty.
Hunter was scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 16 in the tax evasion case. After pleading guilty, Hunter could have faced a maximum sentence of 15 years. He was scheduled to be sentenced in California on December 16 and may have to pay a fine of around Rs 11 crore. Just 14 days before the sentencing, the US president pardoned the son.
Hunter Biden wrote on social media after receiving a pardon from the president’s father:
I recognized my mistakes and took responsibility for them. Because of this, my family had to be publicly humiliated and embarrassed. I will never take these excuses lightly.
Hunter was convicted Aug. 21 of purchasing a firearm with concealment of information. After that, Hunter Biden walks out of court.
Hunter sentenced after ex-girlfriend’s statement
Hunter Biden works as a lobbyist and consultant for foreign companies. He is an investment banker and artist. His ex-girlfriend played a significant role in his conviction in the weapons case.
According to a BBC report, Haley Biden testified in court in June this year that she searched Hunter’s car. During this time, she gave him a gun, which scared him.
Haley also told the court that she caught Hunter using drugs on several occasions. Haley also testified in court that it was because of Hunter that she too became a drug addict.
The affair began after the death of her brother Haley Biden married Beau Biden, the older brother of Hunter Biden, in 2002. BU was a lawyer by profession and a great leader of the Democratic Party. Beau died of brain cancer in May 2015. After that, Haley Biden and Hunter Biden’s affair began in 2016. This relationship lasted until 2019.

Trump says this is an abuse of presidential powers
Newly elected US President Donald Trump expressed his displeasure with Biden’s decision. Trump said Biden’s pardon of Hunter also includes prisoners held in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot who have been in prison for many years? This is an “abuse of power”.
According to CNN, the president’s pardon decision cannot be reversed by the next president. That means Trump, who will be sworn in as president after about a month and a half, cannot change Biden’s decision even if he wants to.
