In the final hours of taking office, outgoing US President Joe Biden pardoned a number of his family members of any charges that may be brought against them after he leaves the White House.

According to the statement released Monday by the White House, Biden believed that his family members were being subjected to “serious attacks and threats” and that “there is no basis to believe that these attacks will stop.”

The pardon includes the President’s brother James Biden and his wife Sarah Jones Biden, the President’s sister Valerie Biden and her husband John Owens, and the President’s brother Francis Biden.

The document provides for a “full and unconditional pardon for any non-violence-related charges” related to the actions of the aforementioned individuals during the period from January 1, 2014 until the date the pardon is issued.

Last December, Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, accused of tax evasion and firearms offenses, despite his previous promises not to pardon his son.
