Hunter’s pardon is a gift to Donald Trump, and a blow to whatever confidence Americans continue to have in our political and legal institutions.

President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden from two separate criminal cases, claiming they were politically motivated to target the Biden family.

Writing off institutions like the Senate, which has a duty to scrutinize Donald Trump’s nominees, only plays into a would-be authoritarian’s hand.

Republicans pounce on the decision as evidence of corruption and abuse of power. Some Democrats are also critical.

President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter, for any offenses over a nearly 11-year period doesn’t have many, if any, direct historical parallels.

Legal experts said President Joe Biden’s pardon of son Hunter was broad and unusual for not specifying the crimes he was being shielded from.

One House Democrat warned the pardon “sets an unfortunate precedent that undermines trust in the office of the president.”

Legal and political analysts are characterizing President Biden’s stunning “full and unconditional pardon” of his son Hunter as an early holiday gift for President-elect Donald Trump.
