Click to see story on stationgossip.comThe president had pardoned his son for tax and gun offenses, stating that Hunter’s issues were related to addiction.
In a statement, President Biden said, “I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process, and it led to a miscarriage of justice. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a president would come to this decision.”

However, Judge Scarsi rejected that argument, noting that Hunter Biden admitted to evading taxes even after regaining sobriety and having the means to pay. The judge also dismissed claims that the case was politically motivated. He pointed out the Justice Department oversaw the investigation.
“The president’s own Attorney General and Department of Justice personnel oversaw the investigation leading to the charges… The Constitution provides the president with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, but nowhere does the Constitution give the president the authority to rewrite history,” Scarsi wrote.
The president’s pardon, issued before the end of Sunday, Dec. 1, applied not only to tax and gun charges but also to any future charges related to crimes committed by Hunter Biden from Jan. 1, 2014, through Dec. 1, 2024. The judge raised concerns over the inclusion of potential future offenses, questioning whether the president exceeded his constitutional pardon powers.
Scarsi said he would close the tax case once official pardon paperwork is received. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden’s gun case is officially closed. However, prosecutors argue the charges should remain on the record despite the pardon.

[Karah Rucker]
A FEDERAL JUDGE REBUKED PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN’S CLAIMS THAT HIS SON HUNTER WAS UNFAIRLY PROSECUTED. IN A COURT ORDER ISSUED TUESDAY, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE MARK SCARSI CRITICIZED THE PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT, WHICH SUGGESTED HUNTER BIDEN WAS SINGLED OUT FOR POLITICAL REASONS.
THE PRESIDENT PARDONED HIS SON FOR TAX AND GUN OFFENSES, SAYING HUNTER’S ISSUES WERE DUE TO ADDICTION.
BIDEN SAYING IN A STATEMENT –
I BELIEVE IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, BUT AS I HAVE WRESTLED WITH THIS, I ALSO BELIEVE RAW POLITICS HAS INFECTED THIS PROCESS AND IT LED TO A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE
I HOPE AMERICANS WILL UNDERSTAND WHY A FATHER AND A PRESIDENT WOULD COME TO THIS DECISION.”
BUT JUDGE SCARSI REJECTED THE ARGUMENT, NOTING THAT HUNTER ADMITTED TO EVADING TAXES EVEN AFTER HE REGAINED SOBRIETY AND HAD THE MEANS TO PAY. HE ALSO DISMISSED CLAIMS THAT THE CASE WAS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED, POINTING OUT THAT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OVERSAW THE INVESTIGATION.
SCARSI WROTE – “THE PRESIDENT’S OWN ATTORNEY GENERAL AND DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PERSONNEL OVERSAW THE INVESTIGATION LEADING TO THE CHARGES…THE CONSTITUTION PROVIDES THE PRESIDENT WITH BROAD AUTHORITY TO GRANT REPRIEVES AND PARDONS FOR OFFENSES AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, BUT NOWHERE DOES THE CONSTITUTION GIVE THE PRESIDENT THE AUTHORITY TO REWRITE HISTORY.”
THE PRESIDENT’S PARDON, ISSUED BEFORE THE END OF SUNDAY, APPLIED NOT ONLY TO TAX AND GUN CHARGES THAT HAD BEEN BROUGHT AGAINST HUNTER BIDEN, BUT ALSO TO ANY FUTURE CHARGES REGARDING CRIMES COMMITTED BY HIM FROM JANUARY 1, 2014, THROUGH DECEMBER 1, 2024. THE JUDGE ALSO RAISING CONCERNS OVER THE INCLUSION OF POTENTIAL FUTURE OFFENSES BROUGHT AGAINST HUNTER, QUESTIONING WHETHER THE PRESIDENT EXCEEDED HIS CONSTITUTIONAL PARDON POWERS.

MEANWHILE, HUNTER’S GUN CASE IS ALSO OFFICIALLY CLOSED, THOUGH PROSECUTORS SAY THE CHARGES SHOULD REMAIN ON THE RECORD DESPITE THE PARDON.
