Joe Biden pardons son Hunter in final weeks in office, despite insisting he would not
www.abc.net.au
The White House says US President Joe Biden has issued a pardon for his son Hunter Biden.

In short:

Outgoing US President Joe Biden has pardoned his son Hunter Biden, saying “raw politics … led to a miscarriage of justice”.

Hunter Biden was convicted of gun charges and tax evasion and was facing sentencing hearings scheduled for mid-December.

Joe Biden said he made the decision over the weekend while spending the Thanksgiving holiday with his family.

    The comment I was originally responding to said:

    If Trump hadn’t won the election, I would disapprove of this action. But he did and he has promised to weaponize the DOJ, so this is the smart move.

    That is what I was responding to.

    So your responses, correct or not, are not relevant to my comment or the comment I was responding to.

    You said:

    So pressure from the trump team derailed the plea deal and and made it impossible for hunter to get a fair trial

    If that is what happened, it happened before Trump got elected.

    especially under a trump doj.

    Hunter has already been convicted, and will be sentenced this month under a Biden DOJ.
