President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter on Sunday despite previously assuring he wouldn't do so on multiple occasions. He justified his reversal in a statement saying that despite he believes in the justice system, "raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice."
"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," Biden added. He granted his son a "full and unconditional pardon."
