Hunter Biden acknowledged that a presidential pardon from his father, Joe Biden, would be "not good" for the United States or his father's reputation. He informed the BBC that his father feared he might be targeted by a new administration led by Donald Trump. A complete pardon issued in December 2024 encompassed a firearms conviction, a tax matter, and other federal crimes.
