President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.

Democratic strategists beat back potentially catastrophic third-party threats this year with a campaign to force attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the race and prevent a presidential bid by the moderate group No Labels.But advisers to Vice President Kamala Harris still say the final outcome in key swing states could hinge on the remaining independent and third-party contenders, who are collectively drawing about 5 percent of the vote in public polls.In response, the Democratic National Committee on Friday launched its first television ad targeting the candidacy of Jill Stein, the perennial Green Party candidate who has been registering at about 1 percent of the vote in the northern swing states.The ad will run on televisions in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, along with national broadcasts on cable news. The DNC did not announce how much money would be put behind the spot.Over an image of Stein that morphs into an image of Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump, the ad describes Stein’s role in the 2016 election as a “spoiler” who helped Trump become president and refers to legal help that her campaign has received indirectly from Republican operatives. It also quotes Trump praising her.
