Biden Grants Last Minute Pardons to His Brother James and Four Other Family Members

Just minutes before he left office, Joe Biden announced blanket pardons for all the members of his family allegedly involved in the clan’s influence peddling operation.  Biden announced the stunning move as President Trump’s inauguration was already underway.

The pardons “were granted to his brother, James Biden; Sara Jones Biden, his sister-in-law; his sister, Valerie Biden Owens; John T. Owens, his brother-in-law; and Francis Biden, Biden’s other brother,” the Hill reported.

“My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics,” Biden said in a statement. “Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end.”

Again, Biden maintained that the pardons do not acknowledge any wrongdoing, and acceptance of them should not be viewed as an admission of guilt.

However, the Biden Justice Department sent a message to Jan 6 defendants in December, telling them that acceptance of a presidential pardon is “a confession of guilt” for their alleged crimes.

And like the earlier pardons of General Mark A. Milley and Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, they were backdated to Jan. 1, 2014.

Some  Biden family members testified before the House Oversight Committee as it investigated both Joe Biden and son Hunter Biden in a probe examining the family’s alleged influence peddling.

While President Biden pardoned Hunter Biden in December, he had not yet done so for other family members, risking continued congressional oversight.

Just last week, House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.)  called on the incoming attorney general to bring contempt of Congress charges against James Biden for making “false statements” during the impeachment inquiry.

“Though President Biden’s saccharine (and wholly ironic) rantings of political persecution and weaponized prosecution of Hunter Biden are specious, they are inapplicable to the non-prosecution of his brother, James Biden, who has lied to the United States Congress and has faced no accountability to date,” Comer wrote in a letter last week in a letter to Pam Bondi, Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Justice.

“I write to encourage the Department under your leadership to hold James Biden accountable for lying to Congress to protect his brother, the soon-to-be-former President Biden. No one should be above the law, regardless of his last name.”

In 2023, the Oversight Committee investigated a $200,000 payment from James Biden to Joe Biden.

On March 1, 2018, James Biden received a $200,000 loan from Americore Health, according to bankruptcy court documents obtained by the House Oversight Committee. Americore was a financially distressed rural hospital operator that had partnered with James Biden in the hope that he could use the family name and political connections to “open doors” for them.

James Biden wrote a $200,000 check from this personal bank account to Joe Biden that very same day, according to bank records released by the House Oversight Committee last week. The check was labeled “loan repayment,” but Comer is not convinced this is true and is demanding proof  that he lent the large sum of money to his brother.

The shady Americore hospital chain became insolvent in February 2018, leaving numerous medical facilities unable to pay their staff, and care for patients.

Joe Biden on Monday made sure his brother and other members of the Biden clan will never be held accountable for any of their alleged crimes.

  1. I’m going to keep posting about this because I am sick and tired of this clear abuse of the law.

    By definition, a pardon is issued to relieve an offender of the consequences of a conviction or of the burden of defending formal charges that have been filed. Look it up in Black’s.

    Biden is not ‘pardoning’ people; he’s purporting to grant full transactional immunity to people who have not been convicted of anything (other than Hunter) nor even formally charged. The president has the power to pardon, not to grant transactional immunity. Virtually every prosecutor and criminal trial judge in the country knows the difference. That these acts are without authority is illustrated by the name they’re give: preemptive pardons. Beware of leftist lingo. Just as ‘social justice’ is not justice, ‘preemptive pardons’ are not pardons.

    A common response is that the presidential pardon power is absolute. That is incorrect. The President cannot pardon for civil liability, for example. Because that is not what is meant by a ‘pardon.’ Also, I think everyone would agree that the President cannot say that someone is pardoned for anything they will do in the future. Why not? Again, because that is immunizing, not pardoning. The Constitution gives the President the power to pardon, not to grant transactional immunity.

    That is the basis upon which these acts should be legally challenged. And if this challenge fails, the pardon power should be amended or, better yet, repealed. We no longer need for modern presidents to have this atavistic power which is so subject to abuse. It is a relic from the era of monarchies. Our president is not a monarch. What better way to make that point.
