MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US President Joe Biden said in a statement circulated by the White House that he had signed a pardon for his son Hunter on two criminal charges, claiming that they were politically motivated.
"Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter," Biden said.
The president recalled that at the beginning of his term, he had promised not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and kept his word word even seeing his son "being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted."
"No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong," Biden said. "In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough."
