Biden's Pardon of Hunter Biden
President Biden issued a blanket pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, covering all alleged offenses since 2014, causing significant controversy. This decision directly contradicted Biden's previous assurances that he would not take such action, raising questions about his integrity and commitment to the rule of law. Critics argue that by pardoning his son, Biden prioritized family over accountability, potentially damaging his legacy and that of the Democratic Party. The pardon shields Hunter Biden from scrutiny regarding serious allegations, including influence peddling and tax fraud, further complicating perceptions of political favoritism in legal matters.
