President Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, after the first son was convicted in two separate federal cases earlier this year.
President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, after the first son was convicted in two separate federal cases earlier this year."Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter," Biden wrote in a statement.
Hunter Biden, 54, has had a busy year in court, kicking off his first trial in Delaware in June, when he faced three felony firearm offenses, before he pleaded guilty in a separate felony tax case in September. "I am not going to do anything," Biden said after Hunter was convicted."I will abide by the jury’s decision."
Hunter has a well-documented history of drug abuse, which was most notably documented in his 2021 memoir,"Beautiful Things," which walked readers through his previous need to smoke crack cocaine every 20 minutes, how his addiction was so prolific that he referred to himself as a"crack daddy" to drug dealers, and anecdotes revolving around drug deals, such as a Washington, D.C., crack dealer Biden nicknamed"Bicycles.
Hunter was scheduled for sentencing on Nov. 13, which was delayed until December before his dad intervened.
