President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden | The Excerpt

^{Published on 2024-12-04 20:02:38 - Brian Stokes, N@N}

President-elect Donald Trump threatens BRIC nations with tariffs if they 'move away' from the U.S. dollar. Plus more top stories on The Excerpt.

The article from USA Today discusses the possibility of President Joe Biden pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, who has been embroiled in legal issues related to tax evasion and a firearm charge. The piece explores the political implications of such a pardon, noting that it could be seen as an abuse of power by critics, potentially damaging Biden's political standing and the Democratic Party's image. It also mentions the ongoing investigations and legal proceedings against Hunter, including his recent plea deal that fell apart, leading to a trial. The article provides context on the history of presidential pardons, referencing past instances where presidents have pardoned family members or close associates, and weighs the potential fallout versus the personal and familial motivations behind such a decision. Additionally, it touches on public opinion, with polls indicating a split view on whether Biden should intervene in his son's legal troubles.
