The White Home unveiled its Christmas decorations to the media forward of the vacation season, with this yr’s theme, “A Season of Peace and Light,” introduced by Jill Biden in an announcement Monday.
“As we celebrate our final holiday season here in the White House, we are guided by the values we hold sacred: faith, family, service to our country, kindness towards our neighbors, and the power of community and connection,” the Bidens wrote in a commemorative vacation guidebook that shall be supplied to guests.
The announcement to pardon Hunter’s two felony circumstances was made by the White Home on Sunday night time. The pardon applies to offenses in opposition to the U.S. that Hunter Biden “has committed or may have committed” from Jan. 1, 2014 to Dec. 1, 2024.

“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Biden wrote in an announcement. “From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”
The president went on to assert that his son was “treated differently” by prosecutors.
President Biden pardoning his son is a departure from his earlier remarks to the media over the summer season, declaring he wouldn’t pardon the primary son.

“Yes,” President Biden informed ABC Information when requested if he would rule out pardoning Hunter forward of his responsible verdict within the gun case.
Days later, following a jury of Hunter’s friends discovering him responsible of three felony firearm offenses, the president once more stated he wouldn’t pardon his son.
