Biden's Controversial Pardon of Son Sparks Political Debate

The White House has defended President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, from potential federal crimes amid backlash from Republicans and some Democrats. The pardon, which covers a decade of potential offenses, was issued to protect Hunter from what Biden perceives as politically motivated persecution. Critics, including President-elect Donald Trump, have called the move an abuse of justice, while Biden's press secretary stated the decision was made to counteract political bias in the justice system.
