Summary

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, reversing his prior stance against using executive clemency.

The pardon covers Hunter’s federal gun conviction and tax evasion guilty plea, sparking political controversy.

Biden cited political attacks and a “miscarriage of justice” as reasons for his decision, emphasizing his son’s recovery from addiction and the targeting of his family.

Critics argue the move undermines the judicial process, while supporters view it as within Biden’s constitutional powers.

This decision shields Hunter from potential prison time as Biden nears the end of his presidency.

    My point still stands that he is going to not have anything happen, again, because he is a nepo-baby, fuck him

    What actually happened is that the only reason he was prosecuted was because he was a high profile person.

    Hunter Biden was not above the law in the case. He was below the law.
