White House: Biden’s decision to pardon his son was not an easy decision

According to RCO News Agency, the spokesman of the White House told reporters: “Biden made this decision over the weekend and struggled with this decision.” This was not an easy decision.

He went on to emphasize that Biden has faith in the Ministry of Justice, and stated that in Biden’s opinion, Hunter was targeted by some policies and justice was not served to him.

In June, Hunter Biden Jr. was convicted of three counts related to a gun purchase in 2018. According to prosecutors, he lied on his gun purchase documents that he was not addicted to or used drugs. In a separate case, the younger Biden pleaded guilty in September to three tax crimes and six tax violations, and was scheduled to be sentenced on both convictions this month.

Following these developments, the President of the United States, who initially said that he would respect the judge’s verdict, went against his previous promise and in a statement issued on Sunday evening, he said that “full and unconditional amnesty” includes the crimes that his son ” committed or may have committed or participated in the period from January 1, 2014 to December 1, 2024.”

The US president claimed his son was being “selectively and unfairly” prosecuted because of his family ties. He claimed that “people are almost never prosecuted simply because of how they fill out a gun form.”

“Obviously, Hunter was treated differently,” he said.

This controversial decision of Biden resulted in the reaction of “Donald Trump”, the president-elect of the United States.

Trump called Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter “an abuse and a violation of justice.”

This Republican figure wrote on his social network called “Social Truth”: “Does Joe Hunter’s amnesty include the January 6 hostages (the perpetrators of the attack on the US Congress) who have been in prison for years now?” This is pure abuse and abuse of justice.”

Maria Zakharova, the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, also called Hunter Biden’s pardon a “caricature of democracy”.
