After receiving a pardon, the gun case against Hunter Biden was terminated, but a Delaware judge did not completely dismiss it.

A federal judge halted Hunter Biden's gun trial on Tuesday after President Joe Biden issued a pardon that absolved his son of all crimes committed or potentially committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.

Outgoing President Joe Biden granted clemency, resulting in the termination of all further proceedings in Biden's trial in Delaware, as announced by presiding judge Maryellen Noreika on Tuesday.

Despite Hunter's legal team requesting that the case be dismissed outright, Judge Noreika did not completely dismiss it.

This summer, a Delaware jury convicted Hunter of all three federal firearm charges brought against him by prosecutors.

His sentencing date had been scheduled for Dec. 12 prior to the sweeping pardon announcement.

President Biden condemned the unjust investigation and trial of his son, stating that it was politically motivated and resulted in a miscarriage of justice.

The president stated on Sunday that no reasonable individual, upon examining the evidence of Hunter's cases, could arrive at any different conclusion except that he was targeted solely due to his relationship with the president, which is unjust.

Some critics argue that Biden's decision to pardon his son could damage his reputation and undermine the public's trust in the Justice Department.

In California, Hunter pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges and the pardon also encompassed this offense.

Judge Mark Scarsi has not yet decided whether to end the proceedings against Hunter or dismiss the case entirely.
