Consider This from NPR - Joe Biden pardons his son. Is that justice?

Hunter Biden no longer has to worry about going to prison.

That's because his father President Joe Biden pardoned him with just weeks left in his presidency. The President's son was convicted in June on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden lied about his addiction to crack cocaine when he purchased a gun. And he pleaded guilty in September for failing to pay more than a million dollars in federal taxes.

The younger Biden was due to be sentenced in both cases later this month.

President Biden has granted his son a sweeping pardon. What will that mean for his legacy... and for the future of presidential pardons?

The Gist - Election 2024: Tall Tales Of A Short Campaign

Kamala Harris' staff reveals their biggest challenges, notably the little time they had to sell their candidate to America. Plus, Hunter Biden is pardoned by his father—an act he said he'd never commit, then again, no one thought Hunter would commit many of the acts he committed either. And we're joined by former Congressman Eric Fingerhut, now CEO of the Jewish Federations of America, to discuss what an organization like his does when over a third of Senate Democrats vote to strip Israel of military support.


Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

Syria's bloody civil war against the government of Bashar al-Assad started in 2011 but it had been in a stalemate for years.
