Part 4/9:
Hunter Biden's legal troubles have been well-documented. In June, a Delaware jury convicted him on three felony counts for lying about drug use when purchasing a gun in 2018. He was scheduled for sentencing in December, with additional potential jail time for tax evasion involving at least $1.4 million in unpaid taxes. The broad pardon now effectively halts any further criminal proceedings against him, with the Biden administration asserting it as a gesture of mercy, though many see it as a political shield.
