President Joe Biden is making a controversial decision with less than two months to go in his presidency … announcing he’s pardoned his son Hunter.
The 46th POTUS announced the news just minutes ago … releasing a statement saying he’s stood by while watching his son being “being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”
Biden goes on to say other people convicted of the same crimes — lying on federal forms and paying their taxes late because of addiction — are typically given non-criminal resolutions … but, Hunter was treated differently.
JB says the charges in his cases only came about after Republicans in Congress used them to attack him … and, mentions how a plea deal in the tax evasion case fell apart in 2023 — with his Republican opponents taking credit for putting political pressure on the legal system to get the deal to come apart.
Joe says he believes in the legal system … but, he also believes it’s being weaponized by politicians in the case against his son — and, he’s not going to sit by while Hunter goes to prison for it.
He ends his message by writing, “I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.”
Hunter was convicted on three felony counts of lying on a federal firearms application back in June. All the lies were about his drug use … and, he was facing 25 years in prison for the conviction.
