Biden Pardons Son Hunter Amid Controversy

President Joe Biden's recent pardon of his son Hunter Biden has sparked significant backlash from both Republicans and Democrats, with critics arguing it undermines the integrity of the U.S. justice system. Senator Katie Britt and other Alabama lawmakers condemned the decision, citing it as a betrayal of Biden's previous promises not to intervene in his son's legal matters. Biden defended his action, asserting that Hunter was targeted unfairly due to his relationship with him. Constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz noted that while pardoning his son was expected, Biden's prior commitments against doing so were problematic. The controversy arrives as Biden's term nears its end, raising questions about future pardons, including the potential for Julian Assange. This move could set a precedent that complicates public trust in political accountability and justice.
