US President Joe Biden has issued an official pardon for his son Hunter, who is facing sentencing for two criminal cases.
In a statement, the president said his son had been "singled out", and called his cases "a miscarriage of justice."
Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to tax charges earlier in September, and was found guilty of being an illegal drug user in possession of a gun in June – becoming the first child of a sitting president to be a convicted of a crime.
The full and unconditional pardon comes after the president had previously said he would not give his son clemency.
