Decision marks reversal after US president said he would not use executive authority, but now says Hunter Biden was only prosecuted for political reasons
Joe Biden has issued “a full and unconditional” pardon to his son Hunter Biden covering convictions on federal gun and tax charges, the US president said in a statement released by the White House on Sunday.
The decision marks a reversal for the president, who had repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.
