President Biden has officially pardoned his son Hunter, stating his belief that he has been unfairly targeted and that the pardon is a necessary step towards moving forward.

Today, I took a significant step as a father and as the President of this country. I have signed a pardon for my son, Hunter. Since the day I assumed office, I have made it clear that I will not interfere with the decisions made by the Justice Department. And I have kept my word, even as I have witnessed my son being unfairly and selectively prosecuted.

It is a known fact that individuals are rarely brought to trial on felony charges solely based on how they filled out a gun form, unless there are aggravating factors such as using the weapon in a crime, making multiple purchases, or buying it as a straw purchaser. Similarly, individuals who have struggled with serious addictions and have paid their taxes with interest and penalties are usually given non-criminal resolutions. However, in Hunter's case, it was evident that he was being treated differently.

The charges against him only surfaced after some of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and hinder my election. Furthermore, a plea deal that had been carefully negotiated and agreed upon by the Department of Justice fell apart in the courtroom, with some of my political opponents taking credit for exerting political pressure on the process. If the plea deal had been upheld, it would have been a fair and reasonable resolution for Hunter's cases.

It is clear to any reasonable person that Hunter was targeted simply because he is my son, and that is simply unjust. There have been continuous attempts to break him, despite the fact that he has been sober for five and a half years, even in the face of relentless attacks and biased prosecution. This relentless pursuit to break Hunter has ultimately been an attempt to break me, and there is no indication that it will stop here. Enough is enough.

Throughout my entire career, I have always followed a simple principle - to be honest with the American people. I have always believed that they are fair-minded individuals. And today, I want to share with them the truth. While I have faith in the justice system, I have also come to the realization that raw politics has seeped into this process, resulting in a miscarriage of justice. And once I made the decision to pardon Hunter this weekend, there was no reason to delay it any further. I hope the American people will understand why, as a father and as the President, I came to this conclusion.
