President Joe Biden issued a pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, the White House announced Sunday evening. The president claimed that the charges against his son were brought selectively and unfairly. “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Biden said. “From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.” A Delaware jury convicted Hunter Biden of three felony gun charges in June, and in September, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to nine tax offenses in Los Angeles federal court. President Biden claimed none of the charges would have been prosecuted in normal circumstances. “Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form,” the president added. “Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.” “The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election,” the elder Biden added. “Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room – with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.” “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong,” the president said. “There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.” Biden concluded his statement by insisting that he has spent his “entire career” following “a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth.” “They’ll be fair-minded,” he added. “Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a president would come to this decision.” Potential Hunter Biden corruption emerged in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, as journalists uncovered the fact that Hunter Biden reaped benefits in Ukraine and China while his father had served as the Obama administration’s point-man for Ukraine and had been involved in China diplomacy. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, investigated Hunter Biden extensively in the effort to impeach President Biden. While his committee did not file articles of impeachment as a result of the investigation, Comer decried what he called the Bidens’ corruption. “History will show Joe Biden and his family were the most corrupt occupiers of the White House of any family in the history of America,” Comer told The Daily Signal at the time. “And a big footnote will be the investigative work that our committee did and made public.” The post BREAKING: Joe Biden Pardons Son Hunter, Claims ‘Selective’ Prosecution appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Cher recently addressed the infamous rumor that she is difficult to work with, noting that she has only ever disliked two directors during her acting career. While promoting the first part of her memoir, Cher: The Memoir, on The Sunday Times, she mentioned not getting along with Peter Bogdanovich and Frank Oz.  Although she did not continue working with Frank Oz, Cher and Peter collaborated on 1985’s Mask. Cher got Frank Oz fired from the set of Mermaid and replaced him with Richard Benjamin, who is also known for ‘90s films like Made In America and Milk Money. Benjamin is also an actor, with credits in Columbus, and Catch-22.  Cher got Frank Oz fired with an ultimatum  Cher/ImageCollect Cher was adamant about not working with Frank Oz, noting that she would leave if he stayed. She accused him of making snide remarks to her and sometimes poking at her troubled romantic relationships. Peter, on the other hand, was not nice to the women on set in general and would threaten to kick Cher off the production.  Like Cher, Peter was also candid about his disdain for her, claiming that she did not like men, hence why she dropped her father’s surname Sarkisian. He added that she always looked dejected and it rubbed off on him negatively.  Frank Oz/ImageCollect Cher claims she is easy to work with despite other claims Cher debunked the rumors as false, saying she is quite easy to work with. She confidently directed those concerned to ask about her conduct from past collaborators like directors Bob Altman, Mike Nichols, and Norman Jewison—all of whom she respects.  Cher/Everett She also disclosed some sound advice from A-lister actress Meryl Streep, who believes in agreeing with the director regardless of the instruction but turning around to do what is best.
