NANTUCKET – President Joe Biden issued a categorical pardon for his son Hunter after the Biden family spent the Thanksgiving holiday weekend on Nantucket.
Hunter Biden was facing possible prison time on a sentencing for gun and tax convictions.
President Biden had previously indicated he would not take that action. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday that he wrestled with the decision, but ultimately felt his son’s case had been tainted by politics.
President-elect Donald Trump called the pardon “an abuse and miscarriage of justice.”
