A pardon from President Joe Biden appears to put an end to ongoing criminal cases against his son Hunter, but Congress under full Republican control still could further investigate the younger Biden or other members of the president’s family in the new year.
House Republicans fixated on Hunter Biden this Congress, with allegations against the younger Biden making up key parts of the Republican impeachment inquiry against President Biden.
For months, House Republicans sought to link the business dealings of the president’s son with his father as part of the inquiry into alleged influence peddling from the younger Biden years before his father became president.
