Nora O'Donnell

Guten Abend, ich bin Nora O'Donnell und wir beginnen mit viel Neues hier in Washington und dem Fallout von Präsident Bidens Entscheidung, einen steigenden Entschuldigung für seinen Sohn zu geben.

... from now on a felony gun conviction in Delaware and then on separate tax charges in California days later. Republicans and some Democrats are criticizing the president's decision after he previously said many times that he would not pardon his son.

President-elect Donald Trump pounced on the move, calling it an abuse and miscarriage of justice, and hinted that he plans to pardon those convicted of the assault at the U.S. Capitol building in 2021. President Biden contends that his son was targeted for political reasons.

Today, the special counsel who investigated Hunter Biden said there's no evidence of vindictive or selective prosecution of the president's son. CBS' Ed O'Keefe has more details and reaction tonight on the pardoning of Hunter Biden.
