President Biden has made the decision to grant a pardon to his son, Hunter, following his conviction on federal gun charges and his guilty plea to federal tax evasion earlier this year, according to reports.
Biden, 82, is expected to announce the controversial pardon on Sunday evening, a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the matter confirmed to NBC News.
This change in position comes after the president had previously stated that he would not issue a pardon or clemency for his 54-year-old son.
In September, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to nine charges related to evading $1.4 million in taxes, and in June, he was convicted of three federal gun charges.
The pardon is expected to cover both the tax evasion and gun-related convictions, according to NBC News.
