Outgoing President Joe Biden had one final act up his sleeve Monday morning, issuing a final round of pardons … for more family members.
Just minutes before President-elect Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, the White House issued a statement declaring the pardons of Biden’s two brothers, his sister and other family members — to protect them from politically motivated prosecutions after he leaves office, the statement said.

In Monday’s last-minute pardon, he extended the protection to his brother James Biden, James’ wife Sarah Biden, Joe’s sister Valerie Biden Owens, her husband John T. Owens and Joe’s younger brother Francis W. Biden.
