02.12.2024 โข The Day Father Pardoned Son
โจPresident Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden dominated the news cycle, marking the first presidential pardon of a child in U.S. history. The morning began with the announcement, covering tax and gun charges. By early afternoon, both Democratic and Republican lawmakers expressed concerns about the precedent, while White House Press Secretary Jean-Pierre defended it as a response to "selective prosecution."
Trump seized the narrative by mid-day, promising mass pardons for January 6 defendants if elected. Special counsel prosecutors and IRS whistleblowers pushed back against the White House's characterization of Hunter's case as politically motivated.
The pardon story overshadowed other developments, including Hezbollah's first strike on Israeli positions since the ceasefire, Syrian rebels' advances in Aleppo, and Trump's nomination of Kash Patel as FBI director. Democrats' internal criticism intensified by evening, with some party members citing concerns about a "two-tier justice system."
