President Joe Biden issued a series of pardons for his family members and their spouses, citing continuous attacks and threats intended to harm him due to partisan politics. Biden expressed concern that these attacks would not cease and therefore decided to grant pardons. In addition to his family members, Biden also pardoned aides and allies who had been targeted by former President Donald Trump, even though none of them had been charged with any crimes.
Last month, Biden had already pardoned his son, Hunter, for tax and gun offenses. The pardons for Biden’s relatives, including his brother, sister, and their spouses, were issued with the statement that they should not be viewed as an admission of guilt for any offense and were not an acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
The pardons were granted just before Biden left office, as he watched Trump’s inauguration at the U.S. Capitol. The decision to pardon his family and close associates was seen as a move to protect them from further attacks and to put an end to the relentless targeting they had faced. Biden’s actions were seen as a way to shield his loved ones from political attacks and to ensure their safety and well-being.
