In his last days as president, Joe Biden pardons family members.

Just minutes before his presidency came to an end, Joe Biden made a number of preemptive pardons and commutations in a spectacular farewell gesture.

Members of his own family, whom he claims have been subjected to constant assaults motivated by political reasons,

Were among those who were pardoned. In a statement, Biden stated, “Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end.”

His brother Francis Biden, his sister Valerie Biden Owens and her spouse John Owens, and James’ wife, Sara Jones, are all pardoned.

Defending the family from “baseless investigations” Biden denounced in his statement what he called politically motivated investigations that have singled out his family.
