Ground Game: Biden breaks pledge on Hunter, Democrats’ political problem
Associated PressPresident Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter, sparing the younger Biden a possible prison sentence for federal felony gun and tax convictions and reversing his past promises not to use the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his family members. THE HEADLINES President Joe Biden accompanied by his son Hunter Biden and his grandson Beau leave a bookstore as they walk in downtown Nantucket Mass., Friday, Nov. 29, 2024. Biden pardons his son Hunter despite previous pledges not to Sunday’s move came weeks before Hunter Biden was set to receive his punishment after his trial conviction in the gun case and guilty plea on tax charges, and less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to the White House. Biden, who time and again pledged to Americans that he would restore norms and respect for the rule of law after Trump’s first term in office, ultimately used his position to help his son, breaking his public pledge to Americans that he would do no such thing.
