A Delaware judge has officially ended the case against Hunter Biden, just two days after President Joe Biden granted him a blanket pardon. U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika dismissed all proceedings in the case, citing the lack of binding precedent before sentencing.
The pardon, granted on Sunday evening, was described as a “full and unconditional pardon” for Hunter Biden’s federal gun and tax crimes. This move came after months of public claims from the Biden administration that no such pardon would be issued.
The decision has drawn attention, as it follows a dramatic shift in the handling of Hunter Biden’s legal situation.
The case’s abrupt end raises questions about the impact of presidential power and the Biden family’s legal challenges.
