WTH: Biden Pardons Hunter! Professor Jonathan Turley Explains

After repeatedly pledging to the American people that he would
not pardon his son Hunter, Joe Biden gave his son one of the most
sweeping pardons in presidential history. The presidential pardon
power has a long history of abuse, but never before has a pardon
been so broad, over such a long period of time, and issued by
someone possibly implicated in the case. Why did Biden choose to
pardon his son now? And what does the pardon mean for the future
of political lawfare?


Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law
at George Washington University. At GWU, he is also the Director
of the Environmental Law Advocacy Center, and Executive Director
of the Project for Older Prisoners. Professor Turley has served
as counsel in some of the most notable cases in the last two
decades including the representation of whistleblowers, military
personnel, judges, and members of Congress, and has testified
before Congress over 100 times. His latest book is The
Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage (Simon and
Schuster, 2024).
