Biden's Controversial Pardon of Son Sparks Political Backlash

TL;DR Summary
President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter has led to a surge of clemency requests from Congress, with lawmakers from both parties advocating for pardons of various individuals, including Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and Leonard Peltier. This move has intensified calls for Biden to issue broader pardons, particularly for non-violent offenders and those with cannabis convictions. The situation highlights Biden's historically low number of pardons and the pressure he faces to expand clemency efforts before leaving office.
