DescriptionJoe Biden has issued “a full and unconditional” pardon to son Hunter Biden covering his son’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea, the US president explained in a statement released by the White House on Sunday.

The decision marks a reversal for Biden, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.

The pardon comes in advance of Hunter Biden’s 12 December sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is scheduled to be sentenced in a separate criminal case four days later, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.

In the statement, Joe Biden said he’d reversed a pledge to “not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted”.

Hunter Biden was found guilty in Delaware in June on three felony counts relating to his purchase of a handgun in 2018 because he wrote on his gun-purchase form, falsely, that he was not a user of illicit drugs.
