White House Faces Backlash Over Hunter Biden Pardon

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defends President Biden's controversial decision after previously stating he would not pardon his son.

President Joe Biden issued a full pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, covering federal tax charges, gun charges, and potential crimes dating back to 2014.
The decision contradicts previous statements by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who repeatedly claimed Biden would not pardon his son.
Jean-Pierre faced intense questioning from reporters, with some challenging the administration's transparency and credibility.
Biden defended the pardon, stating Hunter was unfairly targeted due to his family ties and emphasizing the difficulty of his decision.
Jean-Pierre was criticized for citing incorrect polling data to justify the pardon, misstating public approval figures by a significant margin.
