In his last hour as president, Joe Biden pardoned his brothers, his sister and their spouses. 

"My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me -- the worst kind of partisan politics," Biden wrote in a statement. "Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end."

“The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that they engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense,” Biden's statement continued. 

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., blasted Biden following the pardons.

"President Biden’s preemptive pardons for the Biden Crime Family serve as a confession of their corruption as they sold out the American people to enrich themselves," Comer said in a statement.
