A smiling first son Hunter Biden was snapped strutting out of a California Arby’s with a sack full of food — just days after receiving a controversial and sweeping pardon from his father, President Biden.
Hunter, donning gold-framed aviator sunglasses, a surf-shop T-shirt, blue jeans and a black baseball cap, was flanked by Secret Service agents as he left the Ventura fast-food restaurant — known for its roast beef sandwiches — and made his way back to a black SUV with his bag of grub in hand.
Hunter’s Arby’s run comes three days after his father issued his troubled son a blanket pardon, absolving him of offenses committed between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2024 — including any crimes for which he has not been charged.
The pardon came after repeated declarations by the White House and the 82-year-old president that Hunter would not be receiving one.
The 54-year-old first son pleaded guilty in September to nine criminal counts related to $1.4 million in unpaid taxes and was found guilty of three federal gun charges in June after he was charged with possession of a firearm while addicted to illegal drugs.
Hunter was scheduled to be sentenced in both cases later this month.
The president claims he issued the pardon because Hunter was “treated differently” by his own Justice Department.
Special counsel David Weiss, who was tasked by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate and prosecute the cases against Hunter, argued in a court filing earlier this week that the president’s claim that Hunter “selectively and unfairly prosecuted” doesn’t hold water.
“There was none and never has been any evidence of vindictive or selective prosecution in this case,” Weiss said of the tax crimes case.
“The defendant made similar baseless accusations in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware,” he added, referring to the gun case. “Those claims were also rejected.
“In explaining why, the Delaware court exposed the nonsensical nature of the defendant’s selective prosecution claims.”
Sources told The Post that Hunter was busy screening a movie — about himself — produced by his “sugar brother,” Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris when the president announced the pardon Sunday night.
