A federal court has suspended proceedings against Hunter Biden following a presidential pardon. The president's son was previously found guilty of illegal possession of weapons and lying about drug use.
In the United States, a court closed the case against 54-year-old Hunter Biden after President Joe Biden pardoned his son. This is reported by The Hill, writes UNN.

In a brief order, federal judge Mary Ellen Noreika dismissed all legal proceedings, citing an executive order granted by President Biden.
The publication recalls that Hunter Biden in June was found guilty of lying about the use of illegal drugs when buying weapons six years ago, as well as illegal possession of them. In 2018, when buying a Colt Cobra 38spl revolver, Biden Jr. indicated in a federal questionnaire that he did not use or depend on drugs. After that, he illegally owned the weapon for 11 days.
The Hill also emphasizes that Biden's decision to pardon was a radical departure from the president's previous statements that he would allow legal proceedings against his son to continue. At the same time, the president said that he believes in justice, but also believes that politics influenced the case of his son.
