A federal judge overseeing Hunter Biden's tax case has issued a strong rebuke of President Biden's actions regarding his son's pardon. U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi, nominated by President Trump, criticized President Biden for what he deemed as an attempt to rewrite history with the pardon. Judge Scarsi expressed concerns about the constitutionality of the broad pardon granted to Hunter Biden.

Judge Scarsi was particularly displeased with the president's method of delivering the pardon, citing that a White House press release is not a valid form of pardon notification. He emphasized that the president's assertion that Hunter Biden was unfairly treated due to addiction issues was unfounded, as federal judges and the Department of Justice had previously rejected such claims.
