DAN AND SHAWNEE, BACK TO YOU, INES. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. WELL, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HAS DECIDED TO PARDON HIS SON HUNTER. >> YEAH, THE PRESIDENT'S SON WAS

FACING POSSIBLE JAIL TIME FOR GUN AND TAX CONVICTIONS BEFORE THE PARDON, WHICH IS SOMETHING BIDEN PREVIOUSLY SAID HE WOULDN'T DO. LET'S GET RIGHT TO GOOD DAY'S ROBERT MOSES. HE

JOINS US IN STUDIO WITH MORE ON WHAT THIS ALL MEANS. ROBERT, GOOD MORNING TO SHAWNEE. >> AND DAN. GOOD MORNING TO YOU. HUNTER BIDEN HAD LONG BEEN IN THE THROES OF ADDICTION, BUT IN

A STATEMENT YESTERDAY HE SAID HE HAS BEEN CLEAN FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS NOW. HE HAS A CLEAN SLATE THANKS TO HIS FATHER, WHO AFTER INSISTING HE WOULD NOT PARDON HIM, MADE A JAW-DROPPING

REVERSAL. >> YOU KNOW, NOT PARDONING, NOT EVEN SIX MONTHS AFTER UTTERING THOSE WORDS, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN REVERSED COURSE AND ISSUED A FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL PARDON OF

HIS SON, HUNTER, WHICH WIPES AWAY HIS CONVICTIONS FOR ILLEGALLY BUYING A GUN, WHICH A JURY CONVICTED HIM OF IN JUNE. >> AND FOR TAX EVASION, WHICH HE

PLEADED GUILTY TO TAX CHARGES IN SEPTEMBER. THE CHARGES IN HIS CASES CAME ABOUT ONLY AFTER SEVERAL OF MY POLITICAL OPPONENTS IN CONGRESS INSTIGATED THEM TO ATTACK ME AND OPPOSE MY ELECTION, THE

PRESIDENT SAID LAST NIGHT. NO REASONABLE PERSON WHO LOOKS AT THE FACTS OF HUNTER'S CASES CAN REACH ANY OTHER CONCLUSION THAN HUNTER WAS SINGLED OUT ONLY BECAUSE HE IS MY SON, AND THAT

IS WRONG. IN HIS OWN STATEMENT, HUNTER BIDEN SAID I HAVE ADMITTED AND TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY MISTAKES DURING THE DARKEST DAYS OF MY ADDICTION. MISTAKES THAT HAVE

BEEN EXPLOITED TO PUBLICLY HUMILIATE AND SHAME ME AND MY FAMILY FOR POLITICAL SPORT. I WILL NEVER TAKE THE CLEMENCY I HAVE BEEN GIVEN TODAY FOR GRANTED AND WILL DEVOTE THE LIFE I HAVE REBUILT TO HELPING THOSE

WHO ARE STILL SICK AND SUFFERING. PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP CALLED THE PARDON SUCH AN ABUSE AND MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE, AND HE INVOKED THE RIOTERS WHO STORMED THE CAPITOL

ON JANUARY 6TH, 2021, AT LEAST SOME OF WHOM HE HAS PROMISED TO PARDON. HUNTER BIDEN'S PARDON CAME ONE DAY AFTER PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP ANNOUNCED HIS PICK

FOR FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL, WHO HAS VOWED TO EXACT REVENGE ON THE PRESIDENT-ELECT'S FOES. THIS IS HARDLY THE FIRST TIME AN OUTGOING PRESIDENT HAS PARDONED A RELATIVE. BILL CLINTON DID SO

FOR HIS HALF BROTHER ROGER, WHICH ERASED DRUG OFFENSES AND PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP PARDONED HIS SON-IN-LAW JARED KUSHNER'S FATHER, CHARLES, FOR TAX EVASION

AND OTHER OFFENSES. ON SATURDAY, THE PRESIDENT-ELECT NOMINATED CHARLES KUSHNER TO BE U.S. AMBASSADOR TO FRANCE. WHAT'S UNIQUE HERE IS THAT HUNTER BIDEN'S

PARDON FOLLOWS STRENUOUS DENIALS FROM BOTH THE PRESIDENT AND THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY THAT SUCH A PLAN WAS IN THE WORKS. >> I'VE BEEN VERY CLEAR. THE PRESIDENT'S BEEN VERY CLEAR WHEN

WE'VE BEEN ASKED THIS QUESTION. >> AND NOW A REVERSAL. PRESIDENT BIDEN GRANTED CLEMENCY TO HIS SON FOR ANY OFFENSES. QUOTE, HE HAS COMMITTED OR MAY HAVE COMMITTED OR TAKEN PART IN

DURING THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1ST, 2014 THROUGH DECEMBER 1ST OF 2024. SO THAT'S NEARLY AN 11 YEAR PERIOD. AND THAT WORDING, THOSE DATES APPEAR TO HEAD OFF

바이든 대통령, 아들 헌터 바이든 사면

바이든 대통령은 총기 및 세금 관련 유죄 판결을 받은 아들 헌터 바이든을 사면했습니다.

헌터 바이든은 사면 전에는 잠재적인 징역형에 직면했습니다.

헌터 바이든은 중독으로 어려움을 겪었지만 5년 이상 금연했다고 주장했습니다.

바이든은 처음에 아들을 사면하지 않겠다고 밝혔지만 나중에 결정을 번복했습니다.

이번 사면에는 불법 총기 구매 및 탈세에 대한 유죄 판결이 포함됩니다.

바이든 대통령은 이 혐의가 정치적 반대자들이 자신을 공격하기 위해 선동한 것이라고 말했습니다.

바이든은 헌터가 자신의 아들이라는 이유만으로 표적이 되었다고 생각합니다.

헌터 바이든은 자신의 실수를 인정하고 이번 사면을 다른 사람들을 돕는 데 사용하겠다고 밝혔습니다.

트럼프 당선인은 이번 사면을 사법권 남용이라고 비판했습니다.

이번 사면은 트럼프 대통령 당선인의 FBI 국장 지명 발표에 따른 것입니다.

역대 대통령들은 빌 클린턴과 트럼프 대통령 당선인 등 친인척을 사면한 바 있습니다.

빌 클린턴이 이복동생을 사면한 것과 트럼프가 사위의 아버지를 사면한 것을 예로 들 수 있습니다.

이전 거부와 이후 사면이 대조되는 점이 독특합니다.

대통령과 백악관 공보 비서실장은 이전에 사면 계획을 부인한 바 있습니다.

이번 사면은 2014년 1월 1일부터 2024년 12월 1일 사이에 저지른 범죄에 대해 사면권을 부여합니다.

이 광범위한 기간은 향후 기소 가능성을 방지하는 데 목적이 있습니다.
