Biden Grants Pardon to Son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has issued a presidential pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, absolving him of federal felony gun and tax convictions just weeks before Hunter's scheduled sentencing. This decision marks a stark reversal of Biden's previous commitments to keep his family separate from his presidential powers, raising ethical concerns about the use of executive authority for personal benefit. Biden defended his actions by claiming that Hunter was unfairly prosecuted and treated differently from others in similar situations, suggesting political motivations behind the charges. Critics have pointed out the contradiction between Biden's recent pardon and his past statements, including a now-controversial tweet asserting that 'no one is above the law.' The pardon reflects a significant shift in Biden's stance on justice and accountability as he prepares to leave office before Donald Trump's anticipated return to the presidency. This development concludes a prolonged legal saga for Hunter Biden, who has been under scrutiny since disclosing his federal investigation in 2020.
