The co-hosts of Fox News’s “The Five” dedicated a segment to analyzing President Joe Biden's controversial decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. Co-host Jeanine Pirro highlighted the implications of the pardon, suggesting that it indicates the president's knowledge of his son's questionable business practices, which have raised concerns among congressional investigators.
The scope of the pardon extended beyond the gun and tax charges Hunter faced, spanning an 11-year period dating back to 2014. During this time, Hunter Biden secured lucrative positions despite lacking relevant experience, notably working with a Ukrainian energy firm while his father managed U.S.-Ukraine relations as vice president under Obama.
Pirro accused the Bidens of attempting to conceal incriminating actions, emphasizing Joe Biden's perceived lack of transparency regarding his son's business dealings. The pardoned offenses included lying about drug use on a federal form during a gun purchase, as well as tax evasion totaling over $1.4 million between 2016 and 2019.
Critics from various political viewpoints have widely criticized the pardon, fueling continued debate over ethics, transparency, and accountability within the Biden family's business dealings.
