In a shocking reversal, President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, who was facing sentencing this month on two criminal cases, including tax evasion and firearms charges.
The White House statement has left many shocked as Biden defended his decision, saying, “In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me—enough is enough.”

Hunter, 54, was convicted of lying on a gun purchase form while struggling with drug addiction and failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes, allegedly spent on drugs, sex workers, and luxury items.
The president blamed “raw politics” for Hunter’s prosecution, claiming his son was unfairly targeted as a political weapon.
This clemency decision, which Biden previously ruled out, has ignited fierce debate, with the president insisting he acted as both a father and a leader.
Critics call it a breach of justice; supporters argue it was a father’s act of compassion. Biden faces backlash for prioritizing family loyalty over his presidential legacy.
As Biden declared, “Americans will understand why a father and a president would come to this decision,” the political fallout promises to be nothing short of explosive.
