Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina expressed his support for President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, who was facing federal tax and gun convictions. Clyburn, a key ally of Biden, endorsed him early in the 2020 Democratic primaries and emphasized that Hunter was unfairly targeted due to his father's position.
Clyburn disclosed that he had urged Biden to proceed with the pardon, highlighting the importance of a father's obligation to his children. Despite some Democrats being displeased with Biden's move, Clyburn stood by the decision, stating that he is 'absolutely OK' with it.
