In a surprising turn of events, President Joe Biden is reportedly feeling the heat from within his own family to grant a pardon to his son, Hunter Biden.
This revelation was brought to light by CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny, who stated, "clearly there was pressure inside the family, we were toldreally in recent weeks that Dr. Jill Biden, First Lady Jill Biden was really supportive of the President doing something like this. The President was not sure."
According to The Post Millennial, Zeleny further elaborated on the internal dynamics of the Biden family, stating, "So we were told that this sort of came to a head this weekend," and "this is why President Biden decided now to do this." He also mentioned the concerns within the family about potential future prosecutions under the incoming Trump Justice Department.
Despite the President and his administration's previous assertions that no pardon would be granted to his son, the situation appears to have changed. Hunter Biden, who was convicted on federal gun charges in June and admitted to tax evasion charges in September, was facing imminent sentencing. The potential consequences included several years of imprisonment.
However, the pardon in question extends beyond these recent convictions. It dates back to 2014, providing a blanket pardon for any potential charges that could be levied against Hunter from that point onwards. During this period, Hunter was a board member of the Ukrainian energy behemoth, Burisma, earning a staggering $80,000 monthly despite his limited knowledge about the energy sector. Allegations have surfaced that he failed to register as a foreign agent, violating FARA laws, and that he was involved in selling influence through his father.
When questioned about the pardon at a White House Christmas party, First Lady Biden confirmed her support, stating, "Of course I support the pardon of my son."
The decision to issue the pardon reportedly took place over the Thanksgiving holiday in Nantucket. However, further reports suggest that the issue may have been under consideration since June, following Hunter's initial conviction on gun charges. This development raises questions about the integrity of the Biden administration and its commitment to uphold the rule of law.
