President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter, reversing course after he said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. NBC News’ Mike Memoli reports.
President Joe Biden on Sunday issued a “full and unconditional” pardon for his son Hunter Biden, who has been dogged by Republican attacks for years. The president's son is scheduled to be sentenced this month on federal gun charges and federal tax evasion charges following a conviction and a guilty plea, respectively. The president’s decision marks a clear reversal after he repeatedly vowed not to use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.
He added: The pardon comes just weeks before Biden’s term ends and President-elect Donald Trump, whose attacks on Hunter Biden helped focus congressional and federal scrutiny on the president’s son, returns to the White House. Hunter Biden is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12 for his June conviction on federal gun charges. He is also set to be sentenced on Dec. 16 in a separate federal tax evasion case after pleading guilty in September.
