Biden isn't the first president to pardon a relative. Here's how the power works
Briefly

Biden's announcement of a full pardon for Hunter comes amid claims of political instigation, emphasizing a belief that his son was singled out unjustly due to his presidency.
Biden stated, 'I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision,' highlighting the personal and political complexities surrounding the pardon.
Although he reversed his prior stance against pardoning Hunter, Biden argued that the charges were influenced by politics rather than justice, suggesting a lack of fairness.
Critics from both sides of the aisle emerged, pointing out the inconsistencies in Biden's defense of the pardon and its resemblance to Trump's accusations about the Justice Department.
