Shortly before Biden issued the pardon, Hunter's legal team issued a 50-page report titled "The Political Prosecutions of Hunter Biden." The "white paper" included data that backed up the statements about how lying on a gun purchase form or failing to pay taxes in a timely manner usually do not result in felony charges.

The Washington Post article from December 3, 2024, discusses the controversy surrounding President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. The article provides a fact-check on various claims made by both supporters and critics of the pardon. It examines the legal and ethical implications of the pardon, detailing Hunter Biden's legal troubles, which included charges related to tax evasion and a firearm offense. The piece also explores the political fallout, with Republicans accusing Biden of nepotism and undermining the rule of law, while some Democrats argue that the pardon was within the president's constitutional rights and aimed at healing family wounds. The article concludes by noting that while the pardon has stirred significant debate, it is not unprecedented for presidents to pardon family members, referencing historical examples.
