Hunter Biden’s pardon looks a lot like Richard Nixon’s.

from NEWSNUGGET

President Biden issued a broad pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, encompassing potential federal offenses from 2014 to 2024. This pardon's scope is unprecedented in recent history, comparable only to Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon. Experts highlight the pardon's vagueness and its justification as rectifying a perceived miscarriage of justice due to partisan politics. This action sets a new precedent, mirroring Donald Trump's past pardons of political allies, and is likely to influence Trump's future use of pardon power, particularly regarding those involved in the January 6th Capitol attack. The pardon has sparked significant political controversy.
