Biden's Unprecedented Pardon

President Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, marks a historic moment as he becomes the first sitting president to issue such a pardon to a family member. This move came just days before Hunter was set to be sentenced for federal crimes, including tax evasion and gun charges. Biden claimed that his son had been subject to a politically motivated prosecution, arguing that the unusual nature of the charges warranted the pardon. The president's action raised questions about the integrity of the justice system, especially as it followed his previous statements asserting the independence of the judicial process.
