Mike Johnson Criticizes Biden's Hunter Pardon

President Joe Biden's recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, has sparked significant backlash from Republican leaders, particularly House Speaker Mike Johnson, who labeled the decision an 'abuse' of the justice system. Johnson criticized Biden for breaking his repeated promises not to pardon Hunter, who has faced serious legal issues including felony gun charges and federal tax fraud. Biden defended his decision by claiming that Hunter was a victim of 'selective prosecution' due to his familial ties. The pardon has raised concerns about the erosion of trust in the justice system, with Johnson calling for immediate reforms. Financial markets, however, reacted positively to the news, with U.S. stocks reaching record highs, suggesting investor confidence remains intact despite the political turmoil. The situation continues to fuel a broader discussion on accountability and the influence of political families in legal matters.
