A federal judge in Delaware has brought a swift and decisive end to the legal case against Hunter Biden, just forty-eight hours after President Joe Biden issued a sweeping pardon for his son. In a brief but definitive docket entry, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika wrote that “all proceedings in this case are hereby terminated,” citing the absence of any binding precedent for a case that had not yet reached the sentencing stage. The ruling effectively closes the door on a legal saga that had drawn intense public attention and political scrutiny.
President Biden’s decision to grant his son a full and unconditional pardon came late Sunday evening, marking a dramatic shift after months of repeated statements from the White House suggesting he would not intervene in his son’s legal troubles.
Both the President and senior members of his administration had previously emphasized that Hunter Biden would face the legal process like any other citizen. The unexpected move stunned political observers and reignited debate across the country about presidential powers and the appearance of impartiality in the justice system.
The pardon covers all federal convictions related to Hunter Biden’s gun and tax crimes, wiping his record clean and shielding him from further legal consequences stemming from those charges. Critics argue that the pardon undermines the credibility of the justice system and raises questions about fairness and privilege. Supporters, however, view the act as a father’s final gesture of protection and compassion toward a son who has long been entangled in personal struggles and public controversies.
