Hunter Biden Pardon Sparks Controversy and Legal Debate

TL;DR Summary
A federal judge criticized President Joe Biden for "rewriting history" in his justification for pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, in a tax and gun case. Judge Mark Scarsi noted that Biden's claim that his son's tax issues were solely due to addiction conflicts with the case record, as Hunter admitted to not paying taxes even after regaining sobriety. The judge also dismissed Biden's assertion that the prosecution was politically motivated, highlighting that numerous Justice Department officials oversaw the case. The proceedings in Hunter Biden's cases are set to be formally terminated following the pardon.
