  "account": "Former US President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has now spread to his bones, causing him significant pain and debilitation, according to his son Hunter Biden. The emotional interview with the BBC revealed the family's struggle with the former president's deteriorating health. Hunter Biden emphasized that while Joe Biden remains active and speaks publicly about important issues, he wishes his father would complain more about his condition. The cancer diagnosis, which came less than four months after Joe Biden left office following Donald Trump's 2024 victory, has raised concerns about his age and physical fitness during his presidency. Despite the challenges, Joe Biden remains committed to public life and is set to publish a memoir titled \"Promise Me, America\" following the US midterm elections.",
  "summary": "Despite acknowledging the pardon controversy, Hunter Biden said he remained “eternally grateful” for the pardon.",
