Critics Slam Biden for Alleged Favoritism in Hunter's Pardon
TL;DR
U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi criticized President Joe Biden's claim that his son, Hunter Biden, was targeted for tax evasion charges due to political motivations, asserting that the charges were not a result of selective prosecution. Scarsi also questioned the constitutionality of the president's pardon, which covered a timeframe extending into the future, potentially exceeding presidential pardon powers. Despite these concerns, Scarsi agreed to end the tax-related proceedings against Hunter Biden, who had pleaded guilty to multiple charges.
