Former U.S. President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has spread to other parts of his body and is causing him pain, his son Hunter said in an interview.
Reactions started coming through shortly after the announcement on Sunday evening that President Joe Biden had pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, for his tax evasion and federal gun charges.
Biden faces a maximum sentence of 17 years in prison and a fine of as much as $1.35 million.
Hunter Biden, 54, pleaded not guilty and says he belatedly paid all of his tax debts after regaining his sobriety in 2019, amid a lifelong struggle with alcoholism and drug abuse.
U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi, in denying the motion, cited Hunter Biden's previous ill-fated efforts to dismiss the case.
Hunter Biden attempted to enlist support from the U.S. Ambassador to Italy in 2016 to arrange a business meeting on behalf of Burisma for a prospective energy deal, according to his attorney.
