President Biden went back on his word by pardoning his son Hunter
Biden. His stated rationale for granting the pardon will

J. Trump prepares to take office with plans to use the Justice
Department and the F.B.I. to pursue “retribution” against his

Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent, discusses where Mr.
Biden’s decision leaves the U.S. justice system.

Guest: Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for The New
