Biden's Pardon of Hunter Sparks Debate on Presidential Pardons

TL;DR Summary
Hunter Biden's federal gun case in Delaware has been terminated following a blanket pardon issued by President Joe Biden. U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika ended the proceedings, citing the lack of binding precedent for a case that had not reached sentencing. Prosecutors had requested the case be terminated rather than dismissed to maintain the record. This follows Hunter Biden's earlier conviction on gun charges and guilty plea on tax-related charges, for which he was awaiting sentencing.
