Judges move to terminate Hunter Biden's cases following president's pardon

Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Days after President Joe Biden issued his son a sweeping and controversial pardon, two federal cases against Hunter Biden have all been but dismissed.

The younger Biden was facing years in prison when he was to be sentenced later this month on a firearms conviction and a guilty plea for tax-related offenses. However, the judges overseeing those separate cases moved to end their litigation on Tuesday in light of the president's pardon.
