Presidential Pardons: How Biden's Hunter Decision Compares to Clinton & Trump | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

President Joe Biden famously said he would not pardon his son Hunter. Professor of Jurisprudence at the University of North Carolina, Michael Gerhardt, joins to share why the change and whether it was due to the election results. Gerhardt discusses what the political impact of this decision is. The time frame for the pardon spans from January 1st, 2014 to December 1st, 2024. The professor tells us why he thinks it is so broad. This is not the first time a president has pardoned a family member; both presidents Clinton and Trump have done the same. Gerhardt explains whether this is different from those. Many see this as a green light for Trump to pardon whom he will. Gerhardt fills us in on who he might feel more free to pardon now. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
