Former President Biden pardons his son, Hunter, for federal crimes, amid criticism of political motivation.

Former President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, for all federal crimes committed or that could have been committed between 2014 and 2024, covering charges of tax evasion and unlawful gun possession. Biden's White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, stated the pardon was issued to prevent political opponents from continuing to prosecute Hunter after the presidential transition. Despite the pardon, federal prosecutors argue that Hunter's ongoing criminal cases should not be dismissed. Critics claim the pardon is politically motivated and could impede further investigations into Hunter's business dealings and potential implications for Joe Biden's role in them.
