Image Credit: Getty Images Hunter Biden (real name: Robert Hunter Biden) made headlines over his gun and tax-related charges. For years, his father, President Joe Biden, repeatedly stated he would not issue a formal pardon for his son. But that changed at the end of his presidential term. So, what exactly did Hunter do that stirred up controversy? Last year, former President Biden claimed Hunter was "treated differently" and that "the charges in his cases came about only after several of [Joe's] political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack [Joe] and oppose [his] election" in 2020.
