Joe Biden made the shock announcement Sunday night that he would issue a presidential pardon for his troubled son Hunter, calling his prosecution ‘selective’ and ‘unfair.’The bombshell U-turn decision will see Hunter get pardoned for any crimes he may have committed ‘from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024’.
