It is hard to believe Joe Biden will let his presidency end without pardoning his brother. He has already taken the heat for his son, so why not a little more?
Hunter Biden received a “full and unconditional” pardon from his dad, President Joe Biden in December. But this gesture of love, one of President Joe Biden’s final acts while in office, came before Special Counsel Davis Weiss released the final report on his investigation into the president’s son.
President Joe Biden recently made several false and inaccurate claims to defend his controversial decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden.
The Justice Department special counsel whose six-year case into Hunter Biden was short-circuited last month by the unconditional pardon President Joe Biden granted to his son, criticized the outgoing president in his final report Monday.
Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of almost 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses, setting a presidential record.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer and a pair of IRS whistleblowers slammed Special Counsel David Weiss' final report on first son Hunter Biden as incomplete.
Biden leaves behind a complicated legacy of legislative wins and economic gains, along with a trail of fractured relationships and grievances within his own party.
As President Joe Biden was making one final lap around town this week, delivering farewell speeches to his diplomatic corps, military leaders and the nation at large, his appearances belied a grim reality: This is not how he’d hoped his half-century career in Washington would end.
The special counsel who brought criminal charges against Hunter Biden says the probes were “the culmination of thorough, impartial investigations, not partisan politics.”
The timing of the clemency actions, should Biden decide to grant them, is likely to be during his final hours in office and could include pre-emptive pardons, sources told NBC News.
"With this action, I have now issued more individual pardons and commutations than any president in U.S. history," President Joe Biden wrote in his announcement Friday.
