Hunter Biden was involved in pardon talks toward end of father's term, source says
Jeff Zients testified Hunter Biden attended meetings on clemency orders amid concerns about President Biden's cognitive decline affecting decision-making near administration end.
- Jeff Zients, who served as Chief of Staff during the Biden administration, testified that Hunter Biden participated in several discussions regarding pardons made by President Joe Biden before he left office in December 2024.
- This involvement occurred amid Hunter Biden’s convictions on firearms and tax fraud charges in June and September 2024 and President Biden’s issuance of more than 4,200 clemency orders, including a pardon for Hunter.
- Hunter Biden denied making any decisions in the White House, stating in a podcast interview earlier this summer that he stayed as far away as he possibly could despite reports of his father’s declining health.
- Multiple sources including Zients affirmed that President Biden valued input from many advisors but made all final decisions himself, with Zients expressing full confidence in Biden’s leadership over four years.
- The House Oversight Committee is examining whether the president authorized the autopen to sign a large number of pardons and is also probing claims that officials attempted to hide the former president’s declining health, intensifying scrutiny of the administration’s closing period.
