The political landscape was shook on Sunday night after President-elect Joe Biden issued a wide-ranging pardon to his son Hunter. The decision not only reaches the two sentences against him, but also any other potential crime he could have committed over the span of the past decade.
The sheer scope of the pardon has led an expert on the matter to say she's "never seen language like this." Speaking with POLITICO, Margaret Love, who served as the U.S. pardon attorney, said the only similar precedent that came to her mind was that of former president Richard Nixon, who was given a blanket pardon by Gerald Ford in 1974.
