President Joe Biden issued pardons to several close family members Monday in the final minutes of his presidency.

President Donald Trump says his administration will move to suspend the security clearances of the more than four dozen former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop saga bore the hallmarks of a “Russian information operation.

Critics immediately tore into the former intel boss, with one calling him a “pathetic liar” about the laptop’s provenance.

It was just moments before Joe Biden's presidential term ended when he announced pardons for his siblings and their spouses.

Online users shared this untrue rumor about the pair in the days before U.S. President Donald Trump's January 2025 inauguration.

Hunter Biden received a “full and unconditional” pardon from his dad, President Joe Biden in December. But this gesture of love, one of President Joe Biden’s final acts while in office, came before Special Counsel Davis Weiss released the final report on his investigation into the president’s son.

Marc Caputo and Tara Palmeri recalled several times when Politico either killed or slow walked negative stories about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday revoking the security clearance of 51 former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter arguing that emails from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden carried “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” and that of his former national security adviser John Bolton.

Before President Biden issued pardons for his family members, the media took aim at President Trump for floating the idea of preemptive pardons before he left office in 2021.

President Donald Trump revoked the security clearances of 50 former US intelligence officials who had cast doubt on conservative attacks on former President Joe Biden’s son, delivering on a campaign promise to exact retribution against what he sees as a “deep state” conspiracy against him.

Joe Biden pardoned members of his family in an attempt to avoid prosecution for corruption, exposing the corruption of Biden Inc. and the willingness of the media to deny or deflect the scandal.
