Hunter Biden pardon gets backlash, snowstorm slams East Coast, more | CBS News 24/7

[@Josh_Stringer]

Politicians should not be allowed to pardon family members. Doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on. This is an abuse of justice.

[@LearningStudent-ey4of]

You do realize Trump had also Pardoned a family member? While I agree with you, it is at the highest level of hypocrisy that we are whining about Biden doing the same thing Trump had done.....while also voting for a Convicted Felon and Rapist as the next POTUS.
