Hunter Biden has responded to his pardon in a new court filing. "Joseph R Biden Jr granted me a full and unconditional pardon for, inter alia, the offenses specified in the indictment in this case," he wrote.
"On December 1, I received and formally accepted the president's grant of a pardon. I declare (or certify, verify or state) under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct." The document, signed by Hunter Biden, was executed in Washington, D.C. on December 1.
President Biden announced on Sunday that he had pardoned his son, who was awaiting sentencing following convictions for tax evasion and possession of a weapon while under the influence of drugs.
In addition to signing a declaration that he had been pardoned, Hunter Biden's lawyers filed legal documents on Sunday night in both the gun and tax cases, informing the judges that the pardon "requires dismissal of the Indictment against him with prejudice and adjournment of all future proceedings in this matter."
