Biden faces pressure over potential pardon for son Hunter before leaving office

As President Joe Biden prepares to leave the White House, speculation grows about whether he will pardon his son, Hunter Biden, who faces sentencing for felony tax fraud and firearm charges. Biden has publicly stated he does not plan to issue a pardon. Former President Donald Trump has suggested he might consider a pardon for Hunter, contrasting Biden's firm stance. Biden's administration has reiterated that he will abide by the jury's decision regarding his son's legal issues. Hunter Biden's sentencing is set for December, and while Biden has maintained his position against a pardon, some observers believe he may reconsider given his political situation. The potential for backlash from a pardon remains a significant concern for the Democratic Party.
