In short:

Outgoing US President Joe Biden has pardoned his son Hunter Biden, saying “raw politics … led to a miscarriage of justice”.

Hunter Biden was convicted of gun charges and tax evasion and was facing sentencing hearings scheduled for mid-December.

Joe Biden said he made the decision over the weekend while spending the Thanksgiving holiday with his family.

      Honestly he was president, his career and likely American democracy is over. I’d be saving my sons ass at the last minute too.

      Is it corrupt as shit? Sure. But thats Americas new (at least openly) normal. I couldnt care less about this.
