Biden Faces Backlash Over Hunter Pardon and Potential Preemptive Pardons
President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter has reignited political tensions, with discussions of broader pardons for Trump critics and even Trump himself.
- President Joe Biden issued a full pardon to his son Hunter Biden for federal gun and tax charges, reversing his previous stance on staying out of his son's legal matters.
- The White House cited concerns over retaliation rhetoric from President-elect Donald Trump as a key factor in Biden's decision to pardon Hunter.
- Reports indicate Biden is considering preemptive pardons for prominent Trump critics, including Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, and Anthony Fauci, sparking divided reactions among Democrats.
- Some Democrats and legal experts have floated the idea of Biden pardoning Trump to promote unity, but many lawmakers dismissed the notion outright.
- Biden's actions have drawn criticism from both sides, with Republicans accusing him of abusing the pardon power and some Democrats expressing concern over the political optics.
