U.S. President Joe Biden has officially pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, days before his sentencing in two criminal cases involving tax evasion and a firearm purchase. 🚨 The move has ignited heated debates about fairness, political influence, and justice in America.
\"No reasonable person who looks at the facts… can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong,\" Biden stated, calling the cases a \"miscarriage of justice.\"
Hunter Biden, convicted earlier this year of lying about his drug use during a gun purchase (a felony charge), also pleaded guilty in a separate tax evasion case. Critics argue the pardon contradicts Biden’s earlier promises not to interfere in his son’s legal battles. 🤯 Legal experts are split: some call it a father’s act of love, while others see it as a breach of accountability.
With the 2024 election looming, this decision could ripple through U.S. politics. 💥 Will voters see it as protecting family or bending the rules? Let us know your thoughts 👇.
