After winning a presidential pardon from his father, former US President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden told the BBC he was “the most privileged person there is” and acknowledged that it was a poor decision for both America and his father’s legacy. In a comprehensive interview with BBC Newsnight, Hunter Biden defended the contentious pardon, disclosed that his father’s “painful” disease had spread, stated that he would not run for office, and discussed assisting others in overcoming addiction.
He acknowledged the criticism when asked about the 2024 pardon, but added, “What would you have thot of my dad if he did not do that for me.”He continued, “It’s something that is readily criticized and for good cause.It’s unfair. He acknowledged that the pardon was “not good” for the American people, the constitution, or his father’s legacy. “All I know is that I’m grateful that he did it for me,” he said.
He told the BBC that his father’s actions were ultimately motivated by fear that he would be targeted by Donald Trump’s new administration.My father was the only person in the world who could have given it to me, and I was the only one who could have received it.” Additionally, Hunter Biden maintained that he and his father had never talked about the potential of a pardon prior to its issuance.
