VIDEO | Biden’s Controversial Pardon of Hunter Sparks Uproar; Dodges Questions, Laughs It Off

In a controversial moment during his trip to Angola, President Joe Biden dodged questions from reporters regarding his recent decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. The pardon, covering Hunter’s actions over the past 11 years, has sparked significant political backlash, particularly from critics who point out the contradiction with Biden’s previous statements. Despite earlier promises not to intervene in Hunter's legal matters, Biden reversed his stance and granted the pardon. As reporters attempted to raise the issue during a meeting with Angolan President João Lourenço, Biden laughed off their questions, turning to the Angolan delegation and quipping, "Welcome to America." His refusal to address the matter has further fueled the controversy, casting a shadow over his final days in office. #BidenPardon #HunterBiden #PoliticalBacklash #BidenLaughsItOff #PresidentialControversy #BidenSonsPardon #WashingtonBacklash #BidenLegacy #HunterBidenPardon #BidenTrip #AngolaVisit #BidenAvoidsQuestions #PresidentialDrama #BidenFamilyDrama #BidenPressConference Also Read Democrats Frustrated as President Biden Pardons Son Hunter, Reversing Previous Stance :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/democrats-frustrated-biden-pardoning-son-hunter-011-4004635.html Joe Biden Pardons Son, Says Charges Politically Motivated: 'Hunter Selectively, Unfairly, Prosecuted' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/joe-biden-pardons-son-hunter-says-charges-politically-motivated-my-son-selectively-unfairly-pro-4003699.html Hunter Biden Withdraws Lawsuit Against Fox News on Explicit Images :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hunter-biden-drops-lawsuit-against-fox-news-011-3885785.html ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.124~
