Joe Biden accused of Photoshopping himself in Family Easter Snap

But just before the White House left, Bides used his powers to save his youngest son to go to prison.

In a statement released by the White House, Bides said: “Today I signed a grace for my son Hunter.

“From the day I took office, I said that I would not disrupt the decision -making of the Ministry of Justice, and even while I saw my Word seeing that my son was selective and unfairly prosecuted.”

He added: “During my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They will be honest.

“This is the truth: I believe in the legal system, but as I have struggled, I also believe that raw politics has infected this process and it led to a judicial miscarriage – and as soon as I had taken this weekend, it was no sense to postpone it further.

“I hope Americans will understand why a father and a president would come to this decision.”

The pardon came only a few days before Hunter’s planned conviction for his conviction about the accusations of federal weapons.
