Biden pardons his convicted son

US President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden. In June, a jury found the younger Biden guilty of felonies connected with his illegal purchase of a firearm in 2018.

He was found to have made false statements related to his illegal drug use. This is the first case in which a son of a sitting US president has been found guilty of a crime. The pardon is expected to cause a stir.
