Controversy Surrounding Biden's Pardon of Hunter

President Biden's recent pardon of his son Hunter has sparked significant backlash from both political parties. The pardon protects Hunter from federal charges related to gun and tax issues, which could have resulted in substantial prison time. Critics argue that this action undermines public trust in the justice system, as Biden had previously stated he would not intervene in these matters. Supporters contend that Hunter's legal troubles were politically motivated due to his family name, raising questions about the fairness of the justice system.
