Biden's Controversial Pardon of Son Sparks Political Uproar
TL;DR
President Joe Biden decided to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, after discussions with his family during Thanksgiving in Nantucket. Hunter faced federal gun and tax-related charges, which could have led to significant prison time. Biden, who had previously stated he would not pardon his son, cited political targeting and a miscarriage of justice as reasons for his decision. The pardon has drawn criticism from Republicans, including President-elect Donald Trump, who argue it undermines trust in the justice system.
