Controversy Erupts Over Biden's Pardon of Son Hunter Amidst Judicial Criticism

A federal judge criticized President Biden for pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, in a tax evasion case, arguing that the president misrepresented the facts and maligned the judicial system. Judge Mark Scarsi, appointed by Trump, questioned the constitutionality of the pardon, which covered an 11-year period and included future conduct. The pardon has drawn bipartisan criticism, with Scarsi highlighting that Hunter Biden's tax evasion occurred after he became sober. The judge vacated Hunter's sentencing hearing, pending formal receipt of the pardon.
