President Joe Biden has granted a presidential pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, who faced convictions for illegal possession of a firearm and tax evasion. This decision has drawn sharp criticism from Donald Trump, who accuses Biden of hypocrisy and abuse of power. Biden’s choice undermines Democratic arguments against Republican politicization of the judiciary. Critics argue this act may tarnish Biden’s political legacy, particularly as he previously vowed to uphold judicial independence. Additionally, it raises questions about future pardons in politically sensitive cases.
