How can Joe Biden justify pardoning his son?
ABCSam Hawley: Is it a reasonable act of a loving father saving his son or a president abusing his power to get a family member off the hook? John Barron: President Trump and people around him, including his former personal attorney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, were convinced from back before Joe Biden started running for the presidency in 2019 that Hunter Biden had committed illegal acts by trading on his name and by being on the board of a Ukrainian oil company called Burisma. Sam Hawley: So, John, Joe Biden has really given this gift to his son, which is fully and unconditionally pardoning him from these legal issues that he's faced. John Barron: There's no doubt that if Hunter Biden was was not Joe Biden's son and Joe Biden wasn't running to become president of the United States, that Republicans would not have bothered to pursue this matter as they did. Donald Trump has made consistent a series of false, at least unproven claims about Joe Biden and even Hunter Biden, sometimes quite outrageous claims.
