President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden of his gun and tax conviction s, reversing a previous promise not to do so. This decision came weeks before Hunter Biden was due to receive his punishment following his trial conviction in the gun case and less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump was set to return to the White House. The move signifies a departure from Biden’s earlier stance that he would not use the presidency’s extraordinary powers for personal benefit.
