Just minutes before he leaves office, Biden pardons his siblings and their spouses
By ZEKE MILLER and COLLEEN LONG, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Monday pardoned his siblings and their spouses, saying his family had been “subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics.”
“Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end,” he said. He issued a slew of pardons and commutations in the moments before leaving office, including for aides and allies that have been targeted by Donald Trump. None have been charged with any crimes.
Last month, he pardoned his son, Hunter for tax and gun crimes.
