US President Joe Biden has granted an unconditional pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, who was facing sentencing for two criminal cases.<\/p>\n

The decision marks a dramatic reversal, as the president had previously stated multiple times that he would not offer clemency to his son.<\/p>\n

Hunter Biden had pleaded guilty to tax charges in September and was earlier convicted in June of being an illegal drug user in possession of a firearm, making him the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime. In a statement, President Biden described the prosecution of his son as \u201cselective\u201d and \u201ca miscarriage of justice,\u201d adding that politics had unfairly influenced the legal process.<\/p>\n

The pardon has drawn sharp criticism from Republicans and some Democrats alike. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer accused the president of misleading the public about the case, while Democratic Representative Greg Stanton publicly disagreed with the decision, stating on X: \u201cI respect President Biden, but I think he got this one wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting to the pardon, President-elect Donald Trump expressed outrage, comparing it to what he called the \u201cunjust\u201d treatment of his supporters imprisoned for the January 6 Capitol attack. Trump\u2019s criticism highlighted ongoing partisan tensions over the rule of law and presidential authority.<\/p>\n

In his statement, Hunter Biden expressed gratitude for the pardon, acknowledging the mistakes he made during his struggles with addiction. \u201cI will never take the clemency I have been given today for granted,\u201d he said, pledging to dedicate his life to helping others battling addiction. The president noted that his son has been sober for five-and-a-half years.<\/p>\n

The pardon follows a history of U.S. presidents using this power for family members, including Bill Clinton\u2019s 2001 pardon of his half-brother for a drug offense and Donald Trump\u2019s 2020 pardon of Charles Kushner, his daughter Ivanka\u2019s father-in-law.<\/p>\n

However, Biden\u2019s decision, coming after repeated denials, has ignited heated debate about ethics and justice at the highest levels of government.<\/p>\n
