In short:
Outgoing US President Joe Biden has pardoned his son Hunter Biden, saying “raw politics … led to a miscarriage of justice”.
Hunter Biden was convicted of gun charges and tax evasion and was facing sentencing hearings scheduled for mid-December.
Joe Biden said he made the decision over the weekend while spending the Thanksgiving holiday with his family.
Let’s hope that Joe delivers that pardon and Hunter accepts it before Trump takes office. Then again, with the state of our government, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Supreme Court decided to throw away precedent.

The Supreme Court isn’t going to do that. Art. 2 Sec. 2 and the 5A’s double jeopardy clauses are quite clear on the matter.
They’d sooner overrule Wickard v. Filburn than do that.
