The president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, spoke out on his social network this Sunday (1st) about , who would face a sentence this month for firearms crimes and tax convictions.
Trump classified Biden’s decision as an abuse of justice and questioned whether the pardon would also include prisoners accused of the invasion of the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Biden said in an official statement. It is a “full and unconditional pardon,” according to a copy of the executive grant of clemency.
This official grant of clemency cannot be revoked by President-elect Donald Trump.
By pardoning his son, Joe Biden reneged on a public promise he made repeatedly before and after dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.
The pardon means that Hunter Biden will not be sentenced for his crimes, and eliminates any chance of him being sent to prison, which was a possibility.
