Hunter Biden has finally admitted the obvious: his father’s decision to grant him a full, unconditional pardon was a blow to the integrity of the American legal system.
In a recent interview with the BBC, the younger Biden acknowledged that the move—which shielded him from federal gun and tax convictions—was 'not good' for the American people, the Constitution, or his father’s reputation.
Despite his father’s repeated public promises that he would not use presidential powers to intervene in his son’s legal troubles, Joe Biden ultimately bypassed the justice system to protect his family.
Hunter Biden attempted to justify the act by claiming his father feared he would be targeted by the incoming Trump administration, yet he simultaneously admitted that the pardon was 'easily criticised and for good reason.' The pardon, issued in December 2024, wiped away years of federal legal accountability for offenses committed between 2014 and 2024.
During the interview, Hunter also provided a grim update on his father’s health, revealing that the former president’s cancer has metastasized into his bones.
While Hunter Biden dismissed any personal aspirations for elected office, he remains a central figure in the controversy surrounding his father’s final days in the White House—a presidency now permanently marked by the very nepotism the elder Biden once claimed he would never engage in.
