The White House had said more than once that Mr Biden wouldn't exonerate or drive the sentences of his son, a recuperating drug fiend who turned into an objective of conservatives, including president-elect Donald Trump.
"No sensible individual who takes a gander at current realities of Hunter's cases can arrive at some other resolution than Hunter was singled out simply because he is my son," Mr Biden said.
The president, whose son Playmate passed on from cerebrum disease in 2015, said his rivals had tried to break Hunter with specific arraignment.

He said individuals were never brought to preliminary for crime allegations over how they finished up a weapon structure, and said other people who were late in paying charges due to dependence yet repaid them with interest and punishments, as his son, ordinarily got "non-criminal goals" to their cases.
"Obviously Hunter was dealt with in an unexpected way. The charges in his cases came about solely after a few of my political rivals in Congress prompted them to go after me and go against my political race," Biden said.
Trump responded to the news by strangely inquiring as to whether the exoneration stretched out to the January 6 agitators who were sentenced for their parts in the assault on the Legislative hall.
"Does the Exoneration given by Joe to Hunter incorporate the J-6 Prisoners, who have now been detained for a really long time? Such a maltreatment and unnatural birth cycle of Equity!" he railed in a post on his virtual entertainment site Truth Social.
Mr Biden said he had gone with the choice throughout the end of the week.

"Here is reality: I trust in the equity framework, however as I have grappled with this, I likewise accept crude legislative issues has tainted this cycle and it prompted an unsuccessful labor of equity — and when I pursued this choice this end of the week, there was no sense in postponing it further," Mr Biden said.
I trust Americans will comprehend the reason why a dad and a president would come to this choice."
The exoneration covers a long-running lawful adventure for the more youthful Biden, who freely unveiled he was under government examination in December 2020 — a month after his dad's 2020 triumph — and ruins the senior Biden's inheritance.
Joe Biden, who over and over vowed to Americans that he would reestablish standards and regard for law and order after Trump's initial term in office, eventually utilized his situation to help his son, breaking his public vow to Americans that he would do nothing of the sort.
In June, he completely precluded an exoneration or compensation for his son, tel sonling correspondents as his son confronted preliminary in the Delaware firearm case, "I maintain the jury choice. I will do that and I won't excuse him."
As of late as November 8, days after Trump's triumph, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre precluded an exoneration or pardon for the more youthful Biden, saying: "We've been posed that inquiry on different occasions. Our response stands, which is no."
Exonerated for two offenses
The absolution came in front of condemning hearings for Hunter Biden's preliminary conviction in the weapon case and blameworthy supplication on charge charges planned for mid-December.
n June, a jury in his home province of Delaware viewed him to be blameworthy of three crimes for buying a firearm in 2018 when, examiners said, he lied on a government structure by guaranteeing he was not illicitly utilizing or dependent on medications and afterward unlawfully having the weapon for 11 days.
He was set to stand preliminary in September in the California case blaming him for neglecting to pay somewhere around $US1.4 million ($2 million) in charges while spending luxuriously on drugs, sex laborers and extravagance things.

David Weiss, the Trump-delegated US Lawyer in Delaware who arranged the request bargain, was in this manner named an extraordinary guidance by Principal legal officer Merrick Festoon to have more independence over the indictment of the president's son.
Hunter Biden said he was conceding all things considered to save his family more torment and humiliation after the weapon preliminary broadcasted indecent insights concerning his battles with a rocks dependence.
In a proclamation following the exoneration, Hunter Biden conceded he had committed errors however added that he had stayed sober for over five years.
"I have conceded and assumed a sense of ownership with my missteps during the haziest days of my dependence — botches that have been taken advantage of to embarrass and disgrace all of us for political game freely,"
In the pains of enslavement, I wasted numerous valuable open doors and benefits … I won't ever take the pardon I have been given today for conceded and will commit the existence I have remade to aiding the people who are as yet debilitated and languishing."
The expense energizes convey to 17 years in a correctional facility and the firearm energizes are deserving of to 25 years in jail, however government condemning rules were supposed to call for undeniably less time and it was conceivable he would keep away from jail time completely.
Hunter Biden should be condemned for the current month in the two government cases, which the unique direction carried after a supplication manage examiners that probably would have saved him jail time went to pieces under a microscope by an appointed authority.
Under the first arrangement, Hunter should confess to misdeed charge offenses and would have kept away from arraignment in the firearm case as long as he avoided inconvenience for quite some time.
In any case, the request hearing immediately unwound last year when the adjudicator raised worries about surprising parts of the arrangement. He was accordingly prosecuted in the two cases.
The general exoneration covers those offenses, yet additionally some other "offenses against the US" serious in the beyond 10 years.
