US President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of making false statements on a gun background check and illegally possessing a firearm and pled guilty to federal tax charges. 

President Biden’s move marks a stunning reversal, after repeatedly claiming he would not pardon his son. This also comes just weeks before he is set to leave office.

Is this an abuse of power? How will this impact Biden’s reputation and legacy? Will this move become a bad precedent for future presidents? 

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Pushan Dutt, Professor of Economics and Political Science at INSEAD, for a deeper analysis.
