His Last Act as President: Joe Biden’s Surprising Move Before Leaving Office

As Joe Biden prepared to conclude his presidency, he surprised many with a final, unexpected move – granting a series of pardons to his family members. Just moments before Donald Trump was to assume the role of the 47th President of the United States, the White House made a significant announcement. In this statement, President Biden revealed he had pardoned several of his relatives.

This decision to pardon his two brothers, sister, and other family members was described as a protective measure. The pardons aimed to safeguard them from what was perceived as politically driven prosecutions that might arise following his departure from office.

The news quickly spread, with a notable update reading: “BREAKING: Joe Biden issues one last pardon as President, for his entire family.” This final presidential action was not wholly unexpected, as it followed Biden’s earlier decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, over issues involving gun possession and taxes. At that time, Biden articulated that his son had been unfairly singled out due to his father’s prominent political standing, which sparked intense public discourse and controversy.

In a continuation of this defensive strategy, Biden extended pardons to several family members, including his brother James Biden and James’ wife, Sarah Biden. His sister, Valerie Biden Owens, along with her husband, John T. Owens, and another brother, Francis W. Biden, were also pardoned.

The White House released a statement with Biden justifying these decisions. He emphatically stated, “My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me—the worst kind of partisan politics. Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end.”

Amidst the buzz surrounding these pardons, a headline captured the essence of the moment: “Joe Biden PARDONS his family minutes before the end of his presidency.”

Earlier that same day, Biden had issued blanket pardons for several high-profile figures. Among them were Dr. Anthony Fauci and General Mark Milley, as well as members of Congress involved in the investigation of the January 6, 2021, Capitol incident, including the former Representative Liz Cheney.
