Hunter Biden tells BBC his pardon was 'not good' for America or his father's legacy

In a BBC Newsnight interview, Hunter Biden discussed the pardon his father, former President Joe Biden, granted him in December 2024, as well as his father's health and his own past addiction. He acknowledged the pardon was not fair and was not good for the American people, the Constitution, or his father's legacy, while saying he was grateful his father acted before Donald Trump's incoming administration. He also revealed that Joe Biden's cancer has spread and metastasized into his bones, describing it as very painful and very debilitating. Hunter Biden described his past addiction, including heavy vodka drinking and frequent crack cocaine use, and said he has no interest in seeking elected office, preferring to focus on speaking about addiction and recovery.
