In this episode of The Daily, Peter Baker discusses President Biden's unprecedented decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, before sentencing. This move contradicts his previous commitment to a non-political Justice Department and raises concerns about the integrity of the U.S. justice system. The pardon, which potentially shields Hunter from future prosecution, is justified by Biden as a father's response to his son's struggles with addiction. The decision has sparked debates on its political implications, with critics arguing it undermines accountability and reflects a political climate influenced by the upcoming Trump administration.
