President Biden's sweeping pardon for his son, Hunter, covers his convictions in Delaware and California, as well as any potential future offenses committed until December 2024.
Biden's decision, although unexpected, signifies a departure from his earlier pledge to restore respect for the rule of law and normal presidential norms.
