Let’s say your kid gets caught breaking federal law—twice. One case’s about skipping out on a boatload of taxes.
The other? Lying on a federal form to buy a gun while addicted to drugs.
Serious stuff.
Now imagine you’re the President of the United States… and you have the power to wipe the whole thing away with one signature.
That’s what happened on December 1, 2024. Former President Joe Biden issued a sweeping pardon for his son, Hunter Biden.
Not just for the charges he was facing—but for anything he might’ve done wrong over the past 10 years. From January 2014 to December 2024, everything’s off the table.
Just like that, no sentencing. No more court dates. No consequences.
Now, months later, new details are coming to light—and they’re raising even more questions than before.
A “Get Out of Jail Free” Card
Hunter had been convicted on two fronts: gun charges in Delaware and tax charges in California. He owed more than a million bucks in unpaid taxes, according to court filings.
The gun charge? He lied on a background check while buying a firearm, claiming he wasn’t using drugs when, by his own admission, he was addicted at the time.
But with the stroke of a pen, President Biden made those problems disappear.
For regular Americans, that kind of deal doesn’t exist.
If you or I skipped out on taxes or lied on a gun form, we’d be staring down fines or prison time. There wouldn’t be a pardon waiting in our back pocket.
But the Story Doesn’t End There
After the pardon, a federal judge in Delaware—Maryellen Noreika—ordered several documents from the investigations to be unsealed.
These included search warrants tied to Hunter’s iCloud, his laptop, and electronic records that were used to build the original cases.
The dates on those warrants? August 2019. December 2019. July 2020.
Even one as recent as December 2023.
By April 2025, those court documents were finally made public, with just a few redactions.
What they show, according to legal observers and conservative journalists on social media, is a clear money trail—funds flowing into Hunter’s accounts, raising fresh questions about where the money came from and who was involved.
“Money Was Flowing In”

It’s not just about the gun and tax charges anymore. These filings suggest something deeper. Bigger.
Like maybe this wasn’t just one man’s shady bookkeeping… but something that touches more of the Biden orbit than we’ve been told.
The Oversight Committee’s Been Digging, Too
Rep. James Comer, the Republican leading the House Oversight Committee, has been warning about this for a while.
He says Hunter and his associates took in roughly $30 million from foreign nationals connected to Russia, Kazakhstan, and China.
That specific number hasn’t been confirmed in these newly unsealed documents, but the idea that there was no money trail, no suspicious activity?
That’s getting harder to defend.
Weiss Fires Back at “Unfair Prosecution” Claim
In January 2025, Special Counsel David Weiss—who led the investigation into Hunter Biden—released a report pushing back on claims that the charges were political.
President Biden had publicly said his son was “selectively and unfairly prosecuted.” Weiss disagreed.
His report said the investigation was thorough, nonpartisan, and supported by the facts.
And thanks to the president’s pardon, Weiss pointed out, there would be no more charges, no more consequences.
In other words, the door was closed—not because the investigation found nothing, but because the president slammed it shut.
Two Systems of Justice?
Two sets of rules. One for the well-connected, and one for the rest of us.
A struggling small business owner gets audited and faces penalties for a few thousand in back taxes.
Meanwhile, Hunter Biden—who owed over a million—gets a clean slate and a family hug.
No wonder folks are frustrated.
We were told this was all about a single laptop.
Then a single gun charge.
Then unpaid taxes.
Now we’re told the story is over—except the documents say otherwise.
For millions of Americans watching from the sidelines, that’s the part that stings the most.
Not just that there are two sets of rules—but that the folks in charge don’t even try to hide it anymore.
