White House Backs President’s Pardon for Son; Trump Proposes Kash Patel as FBI Director

The White House has stood by President Joe Biden’s choice to grant a pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, arguing that political influence has skewed Hunter’s legal situations and resulted in an injustice. This decision has drawn criticism from Republicans and certain Democrats alike, who assert that the president has gone back on his previous commitment not to pardon his son.
