President Biden pardons his son, Hunter, for gun and tax convictions, reversing a prior pledge.

President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, for gun and tax convictions, reversing his earlier pledge not to intervene. Hunter faced up to 17 years for tax evasion and 25 years for gun charges, though he was likely to avoid prison time. The pardon covers all federal offenses Hunter may have committed from 2014 to 2024. Biden said his son was "selectively and unfairly" prosecuted. Previous presidents have also pardoned family members, including Trump and Clinton.
