Biden's Controversial Pardon of Son Sparks Political Firestorm

TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden's sweeping pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, is being compared to the blanket pardon given to Richard Nixon by Gerald Ford in 1974. The pardon covers all potential federal offenses Hunter Biden may have committed over the past decade, a move seen as unprecedented in its breadth. This decision has sparked controversy, with critics arguing it mirrors the norm-breaking pardons of political allies by former President Donald Trump. The pardon effectively shields Hunter Biden from future federal charges, drawing parallels to Nixon's pardon and raising questions about its implications for the justice system.
