The decision of President Biden to pardon his son Hunter Biden has deepen the concerns about how fair the Justice System is and how much it is influenced by politics.

Just ahead of sentencing later this month over various Tax & Gun related convictions, Biden used his presidential power to pardon his son Hunter Biden.

The decision seems to be an outcome of special counsel Jack Smith dismissing the federal cases against new president elect Donald Trump with respect to hoarding of classified documents & election interference based on the grounds that Presidents cannot be prosecuted.

This move of Biden has sent a shock wave in public and has again eroded eroded public trust in the justice system. It’s particularly concerning because Biden had previously promised to protect the independence of the Justice Department. This decision is likely to further undermine public trust, especially if certain political trends continue.
