Biden's Pardon of Hunter Sparks Debate on Presidential Pardons

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.

Prosecutors Resist Hunter Biden's Subpoena for Trump Documents in Gun Case

Prosecutors are opposing Hunter Biden's attempt to subpoena documents from Donald Trump and former Justice Department officials in his firearms case, arguing that he lacks sufficient evidence to support claims of potential political interference. The investigation into Hunter Biden's taxes and gun purchase began in 2018, while Trump was president, but charges were only brought this year, undermining the defense's argument. Hunter Biden's attorneys allege improper pressure from Trump on then-Attorney General William Barr and two top deputies, citing public comments, information from the Jan. 6 Capitol attack investigation, and details from a book by Barr. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty, and the case may go to trial in 2024.
