President Joe Biden announced last night that he has granted a full and unconditional pardon to his son, Hunter Biden. In his statement, the President made it clear that he believes Hunter was unfairly targeted due to their family connection. He stated, “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s case can reach any other conclusion than that Hunter was singled out only because he is my son. And that is wrong.”
Joe Biden Grants Full and Unconditional Pardon
President Joe Biden also emphasized that Hunter has been sober for over five years and has faced relentless attacks and legal pressure, which he believes were part of an effort to harm both Hunter and himself.
Hunter Joe Biden responded, saying, “I will never take the clemency I have been given today for granted. I will devote the life I have rebuilt to helping those who are still sick and suffering.”
The pardon covers all crimes Hunter committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024. It also includes any crimes he may have committed in the future, even if he has not yet been charged with them.
Miranda Devine’s Take on the Pardon
Miranda Devine, a columnist for the New York Post and FOX News contributor, weighed in on the pardon during a recent discussion. She highlighted the significance of the decision, noting that it is the broadest pardon ever granted in U.S. history. The pardon not only clears Hunter Joe Biden of charges related to gun possession, drug use, and money laundering, but also covers all allegations tied to his work in Ukraine.
This includes Hunter’s involvement with a Ukrainian energy company, which was paying him $1 million a year. Critics argue that this may have influenced decisions made by his father, especially when then-Vice President Joe Biden pushed for the firing of a prosecutor who was investigating the company.
Devine believes this pardon has sweeping implications, possibly including the protection of Joe Joe Biden himself from any future legal issues related to these matters.
