Impact of Biden’s Pardon Decision
President Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, raises questions about the implications for his administration and the Democratic Party. The unexpected announcement, made just before departing for Angola, contradicts earlier statements where Biden promised to let the judicial process run its course after Hunter's conviction for tax and gun-related offenses. By pardoning Hunter, Biden risks undermining his image as a champion of law and order and due process, especially during a time when he has differentiated himself from Donald Trump on these issues. Furthermore, the wide-ranging nature of the pardon, covering any potential offenses committed in the last ten years, poses concerns regarding accountability and perception of justice in America.
