Summary

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, prompting strong backlash from Republicans.

GOP lawmakers criticized the move as an abuse of power and an attempt to avoid accountability, with figures like Rep. James Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley calling it hypocritical and corrupt.

Biden defended the pardon, citing “selective prosecution” and claiming Hunter was unfairly targeted due to their family connection.

Hunter faced convictions for federal gun and tax charges.

    He should pardon himself for everything before he leaves office

    He doesn’t need to. Presidents have immunity for “official acts”. Womp womp.

      I’d say he should and then when the courts rule he can’t, Trump’s self pardon won’t work either but that’s a pipe dream.

        Gotta be honest. That’s just a really silly thing to say.
