President Joe Biden issued a full and unconditional pardon for his son Hunter Biden, citing what he described as a “miscarriage of justice” in his son’s legal cases. The controversial decision came despite Biden’s earlier assurances that he would not intervene in his son’s legal troubles.
Hunter, convicted on tax evasion charges and for possessing a firearm while being an illegal drug user, is now absolved of all crimes, thanks to his father’s clemency. In his statement, Biden painted Hunter as a man who had turned his life around, boasting that his son has been sober for over five years.
However, recently surfaced footage from two weeks ago at Disney paints a very different picture. The video shows Hunter in what appears to be an altered state, sparking skepticism about the claims of long-term sobriety. Critics are pointing to the footage as evidence that Biden’s statements about his son’s recovery may not align with reality.

Hunter Biden, in his reaction statement, said the clemency was a chance to continue rebuilding his life and to help others struggling with addiction. But the video has reignited scrutiny of the Biden family and their handling of Hunter’s highly publicized legal and personal issues.
Ridiculous.
In fact, has there ever been a public sighting of Hunter sober?pic.twitter.com/tuzrNqbTFW

The controversy surrounding Hunter’s pardon draws parallels to past presidential pardons, such as Bill Clinton’s pardon of his half-brother for a cocaine offense. However, the timing and optics of this decision, coupled with the Disney footage, have many questioning whether politics and personal interests have overshadowed justice.
As the nation reacts, Biden’s attempt to justify his decision as a father and president faces mounting skepticism, with critics calling the pardon another example of the two-tiered justice system they say has taken hold under his administration.
