The Old Man and the Clemency

President Biden pardons his son Hunter—a move he'd once promised
not to make—and the backlash is immediate. Republicans are
calling it a political favor, while some Democrats argue it
undermines trust in the justice system. Meanwhile, Trump promises
to replace FBI Director Christopher Wray with Kash Patel, a
loyalist known for wanting to prosecute Trump's enemies
(including journalists), even as his pick for Defense Secretary,
Pete Hegseth, faces new allegations of workplace misconduct—and a
scathing email from his own mother. Plus, Bernie Sanders finds
surprising common ground with Elon Musk, and Cheryl Hines posts a
Black Friday thirst trap.
