Joe Biden pardons his son, Hunter, for criminal charges

President Biden announced late Sunday that he had signed a full and unconditional pardon for his son Hunter Biden, following criminal charges against the former president's son.

The pardon comes in the final weeks of President Biden's time in office and despite his public assurances in the past that he would neither pardon nor commute his son's sentence.

"I have signed an apology for my son Hunter," Biden said in a White House statement. "It's clear that Hunter was treated differently."

The pardon also comes less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House.

In a post Sunday night on social media, Trump called Biden's pardon "such an abuse and miscarriage of justice!". In his post, Trump asked whether Biden's pardon would apply to people convicted of the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, while Congress was certifying the 2020 presidential election.
