President Joe Biden has decided to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, ahead of his December sentencing for federal gun charges and tax evasion.

This marks a reversal of Biden’s previous stance, where he had repeatedly stated he would not use his pardon power for his son.

The pardon will cover Hunter’s gun charges and guilty plea.

The decision comes after months of internal discussions, despite Biden publicly opposing a pardon earlier.

The move is expected to avoid further political backlash, as Hunter Biden faces significant legal consequences, NBC News has reported.

The decision comes with Biden nearing the end of his term and with no future election pressures.
