拜登签署对儿子亨特的全面无条件赦免
美国总统拜登（Joe Biden）12月1日在华盛顿特区签署赦免令，给予其子亨特·拜登（Robert Hunter Biden）全面、无条件的赦免。拜登此前曾多次表示不会赦免儿子，这次签署标志着他公开立场的转变。
白宫当天发表的总统声明与赦免令文本显示，赦免覆盖亨特在2014年1月1日至2024年12月1日期间已经实施、可能实施或参与的全部联邦罪行，包括特别检察官 David C. Weiss 提起的全部案件。
其中，特拉华州联邦地区法院的枪支案中，亨特于2024年6月被裁定三项重罪成立，涉及他在2018年购枪时在联邦表格上就吸毒问题作不实陈述；加利福尼亚州中区联邦地区法院的税务案中，亨特于2024年9月5日就九项指控认罪，检方指控他2016年至2019年间至少欠税约140万美元。两案原定于2024年12月中旬宣判。
拜登在声明中说，他上任之日就表示不会干预司法部的决策，并一直信守这一承诺，即便眼看儿子被选择性、不公平地起诉。他表示，希望美国人能理解一位父亲兼总统为何作出这一决定。赦免令已送交司法部记录在案。（来源：白宫）
Biden Signs Full and Unconditional Pardon for His Son Hunter
President Joe Biden signed a pardon in Washington, D.C., on December 1 granting his son, Robert Hunter Biden, a full and unconditional pardon. Biden had repeatedly said he would not pardon his son, and the signing marked a reversal of that public position.
The presidential statement and the text of the executive grant of clemency issued by the White House that day show the pardon covering all federal offenses Hunter Biden committed, may have committed, or took part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024, including all offenses charged or prosecuted by Special Counsel David C. Weiss.
In the Delaware federal gun case, Hunter Biden was convicted in June 2024 on three felony counts tied to false statements about his drug use on a federal form when he bought a handgun in 2018. In the Central District of California tax case, he pleaded guilty on September 5, 2024 to all nine counts; prosecutors alleged he owed at least $1.4 million in taxes for tax years 2016 through 2019. Sentencing in the two cases had been scheduled for mid-December 2024.
In his statement, Biden said that from the day he took office he had said he would not interfere with the Justice Department's decision-making, and had kept his word even as he watched his son being selectively and unfairly prosecuted. The grant of clemency was recorded with the Department of Justice. (Source: The White House)
