Hunter Biden's Full Pardon for Crimes in Last 10 Years Eliminates Fifth Amendment Protections in Congressional Testimony

Dec 2, 2024, 01:38 AM

Hunter Biden has received a full federal pardon for all crimes committed in the last decade, which eliminates his ability to invoke the Fifth Amendment during congressional testimony. Legal experts suggest that this development could compel him to testify about his foreign dealings, particularly regarding allegations of racketeering. The pardon means he cannot refuse to answer questions related to his actions, as he no longer faces the threat of federal charges. Consequently, if he chooses not to respond or provides false information during testimony, he could face new charges, including criminal contempt. This situation raises the possibility of exposing alleged misconduct involving his father, President Joe Biden, as well as implications for former President Donald Trump's previous accusations against the Biden family.
