WASHINGTON: Former US President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has spread to his bones, according to his son Hunter Biden, who shared the update during a recent BBC interview. The son confirmed that the disease has progressed and is causing severe pain, though he did not specify the exact stage of the illness.

Hunter Biden also expressed his views on his father’s decision to pardon him before leaving office. He admitted that the pardon was not in the best interest of the American people or the Constitution, and that it could harm his father’s political legacy. The son emphasized that he and his father did not discuss the pardon privately.

The news comes as Hunter Biden faces legal consequences for drug and gun-related charges. He was originally set to be sentenced in December 2024, but the pardon allowed him to avoid that outcome. Despite the legal resolution, the family’s health and political dynamics remain under public scrutiny.

Hunter Biden described the cancer’s progression as “very painful” and “very difficult,” highlighting the personal toll on the family. Medical details remain limited, but the spread to the bones indicates a worsening condition. (BBC)
