Just when you thought D.C. couldn’t get any spicier, President Joe Biden dropped a political bombshell: a full pardon for his son, Hunter Biden.
The move, announced days before Biden packs his bags and leaves the Oval Office, has everyone talking—and not all in a good way.
Family Ties or Presidential Overreach?
The White House claims the pardon was an act of love from a father shielding his family from relentless scrutiny.
“This decision allows our family to move forward,” a spokesperson said, with all the warmth of a Hallmark card. But critics? Oh, they’re not buying it.
Republicans are calling this a “get-out-of-jail-free card” for Hunter, who’s faced investigations into tax evasion and shady foreign business deals.
GOP Promises Fireworks
Naturally, the GOP isn’t letting this slide. Rep. Jim Jordan slammed the pardon as a betrayal of justice, vowing to keep digging into Hunter’s dealings. “This sends the wrong message about integrity in public office,” he said, practically guaranteeing more subpoenas and headlines.
With Biden’s term ending in controversy, this move guarantees the Hunter saga won’t fade quietly. Whether it’s a bold act of compassion or just plain cronyism, one thing’s clear: Biden’s exit from the White House is anything but boring.
