President Donald Trump commuted the prison sentence of Jason Galanis, a convicted ex-business associate of Hunter Biden, who has been described as the “fall guy” for Biden’s dealings. Galanis served eight years and eight months of a 14-year sentence for securities fraud and testified about Joe Biden’s potential involvement with Hunter Biden’s business ventures.
In 2024, Galanis stated before Congress that Hunter Biden’s value in the business was primarily his family name and connections to the then-Vice President Joe Biden.
