  • A day after President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, prosecutors rebutted the president's allegation that their charges were motivated by politics.

The article from ABC News discusses the ongoing legal and political scrutiny surrounding Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden. It highlights that despite calls from some Republicans for a pardon, Hunter Biden's legal team and prosecutors are pushing back against criticisms of the case's handling. The piece details that Hunter Biden has been under investigation for tax issues and a false statement related to a gun purchase. Recently, a plea deal fell apart, leading to increased pressure on the Department of Justice (DOJ) and U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who has been criticized by Republican lawmakers for allegedly slow-walking the investigation. Weiss has since been granted special counsel status, which gives him more autonomy in the investigation. The article also mentions that Hunter Biden's legal team has accused the DOJ of reneging on the plea deal, while prosecutors maintain that the investigation remains active and independent of political influence.
