Joe Biden pardoned his siblings and their spouses on his way out of the White House, saying Monday that his family had been “subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics.

Shortly before leaving the White House at the end of his term of office, US President Joe Biden posted a photograph of himself and his wife. "One more selfie for the road. We love you, America," he wrote on the platform X on Monday morning.

The first couples are expected to have tea ahead of the president-elect's inauguration, a courtesy Trump did not extend Biden four years ago.
