Deep dives
Biden's Pardon of Hunter Biden
President Biden recently pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, for convictions related to gun and tax crimes, along with potential federal offenses dating back from 2014 to 2024. This decision reverses Biden’s earlier stance of not intending to pardon his son, indicating a significant shift in his approach as the sentencing deadline looms. The pardon effectively cancels any sentencing and prevents future prosecutions, leading to mixed reactions even within the Democratic Party. Critics, including Colorado's Governor Jared Polis, voiced disappointment over what they perceive as placing family interests above national integrity, while figures like Trump criticized it as an abuse of power.
