Jill Biden, the wife of US President Joe Biden, pushed her husband to the decision to pardon his son Hunter, the Daily Mail reports, citing an informed source. The Guardian previously reported that Biden may have begun to lean towards pardoning his son Hunter after Donald Trump won the US election, and he could have made the decision while celebrating Thanksgiving with his family.
According to the source, Jill Biden has significant influence on the decisions made by her husband, including political ones. According to the publication, the decision was made by the president and the father of the family on the island of Nantucket in the state of Massachusetts, where the Bidens celebrated Thanksgiving. Biden previously signed a pardon for his son Hunter, saying the decision was motivated by his belief that the prosecution was unfair. However, he previously stated that he was not going to pardon his son. Donald Trump called the decision to pardon an abuse and a violation of the rules of justice.
