This was telegraphed by Jack Smith dropping his charges against Trump. Biden could not have made this move without public outcry.

Good. Cry MAGA.

More projection. Hey, you Trumpers set the bar so very very low. destroyed the bar even.

I hate that he did this, but any Trump voter who complains can shove it up their hypocritical butts.

Statement from President Joe Biden
Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department's decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.
The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election. Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room - with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter's cases.
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.
There has been an effort to break Hunter - who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. 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.
For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They'll be fair-minded. Here's the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice - and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.

So Trump is responsible for this?

The party of law and order.

It's completely legal, just unethical.

How in gods name are you hypocrites upset about this!? This is laughable! Look at the list of Trump pardons and just wait for more. You people are something else.

Meh, who cares? I’d do the same thing. Trump and his wolves would put Hunter behind bars for decades (when vast majority of people guilty of same crimes usually do no time or 6 months max).

End the drama and protect your family. I hope Biden issues thousands of open ended pardons to anyone Trump might try to target.

Good for him. Sick of going high and playing by the rules while Trump runs a crime ring.

What a couple of dirtbags!! Honor my arse!!

Trump pardoned his co-conspirators. He set the bar low enough for Biden to pardon his son for the political witch hunt that it was.

When they go low, you go lower.

Scumbag. Like we all knew.
