Biden's Pardon of Hunter Biden Fuels Debate as GOP Senators Support Trump's Plans for Jan. 6 Pardons
Dec 11, 2024, 02:49 PM
President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden has met with significant public disapproval, with only about 20% of Americans approving of the move according to an AP-NORC poll. This comes after Biden had previously promised not to issue such a pardon. The action has sparked a debate on presidential pardons, with GOP senators indicating they will not oppose President-elect Donald Trump's plans to pardon participants of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Critics argue that Biden's pardon sets a precedent for Trump to issue similar pardons, potentially affecting the legal consequences for those involved in the Capitol events.
