Just before leaving office, President Biden granted pardons to his siblings.
On his final day in office, Biden granted a wave of pardons.
President Biden pardoned his siblings just minutes before leaving office on Monday.
The White House announced that a pardon applies to James Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John Owens, and Francis Biden.
Biden stated that he believes in the rule of law and is optimistic about the strength of legal institutions. However, he believes that baseless and politically motivated investigations can harm the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families. Even when individuals are exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can damage their reputations and finances.
