Despite assurances that he had no intentions to pardon his son from the president as well as aides as recently as a week ago, President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden on Sunday. The blanket pardon wipes out his criminal convictions on tax and gun charges and protects him from additional prosecution for any crimes “he has committed or may have committed or taken part in” between 2014 to the present. That is the year Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company, while his father was the sitting vice president of the United States.
