In short:

Outgoing US President Joe Biden has pardoned his son Hunter Biden, saying “raw politics … led to a miscarriage of justice”.

    Biden should have pardoned Trump at the same time and framed it as “putting an end to this era of retaliatory politics” or something. It’s not like any of the indictments against Trump actually matter given his age and the fact that he won the 2024 election.
