President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, was no last-minute act of mercy. According to insider information, this move was meticulously planned for over three months, signaling a calculated strategy to address what the president reportedly saw as an unjust situation.
Sources close to the White House revealed that President Biden began considering the pardon last year after a pivotal moment in Hunter’s legal battles. In June, a judge rejected a plea deal in Hunter’s case, leaving the president visibly frustrated. Reports suggest Biden felt his son was being unfairly targeted and used as a political scapegoat.
Hunter Biden faced legal troubles involving three gun-related charges earlier this year. Then came a second trial where he was charged with nine tax-related offenses. While Hunter’s legal team was confident they could secure a not-guilty verdict, he entered a guilty plea in September, raising eyebrows across the political spectrum.
The surprising guilty plea wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed. Sources indicate that Hunter and his legal advisors acted with the knowledge that a presidential pardon was imminent. This move aligned with a broader strategy to protect Hunter from what the president and his team saw as a politically motivated legal campaign.
On Sunday, President Biden officially granted his son a pardon, stating his belief that Hunter’s legal treatment was unfairly harsh due to his family ties. In a press release, the president argued that similar cases often result in non-criminal resolutions, suggesting that Hunter was held to a different standard simply because of his connection to the Oval Office.
The pardon has sparked heated debates, with critics calling it an abuse of presidential power while supporters view it as a necessary step to address an overly politicized justice system.
