President Joe Biden - Kamala Harris Administration

Reverend Jesse Jackson Sends Plea to Biden to Pardon His Son the same day as Hunter reprieve​


The same day President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter, Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. asked the Democrat to extend the same courtesy to his own son.

Former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. spent 30 months in prison a decade ago after spending around $750,000 in campaign cash on more than 3,000 personal purchases including a Michael Jackson fedora, a Rolex watch and fur coats.

In a two-page letter to Biden, obtained by Politico, the 83-year-old civil rights leader explained away his son's spending problem.

Jackson and his then-wife Sandi signed plea agreements, with Jackson pleading guilty of fraud, conspiracy, making false statements, mail fraud, wire fraud and criminal forfeiture.
