Why Biden's Sweeping Pardon Of Son May Expand Use Of Power

President Joe Biden has signed a sweeping pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, reversing his previous stance that he would not use his executive powers to aid his oldest-living child. Biden justified the pardon by saying that the case against his son was politically tinged, excessive and designed to "break" him and Hunter. The Trump team seized on Biden's suggestions that the case was politically motivated as confirmation of their longstanding claims about the Justice Department. Bloomberg's Kevin Whitelaw joins Guy Johnson and Caroline Hepker on Bloomberg Radio to discuss.
