When the President Pardons His Son

President Biden went back on his word by pardoning his son Hunter Biden. His stated rationale for granting the pardon will inevitably muddy the political waters as President-elect Donald J. Trump prepares to take office with plans to use the Justice Department and the F.B.I. to pursue “retribution” against his political adversaries.

Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent, discusses where Mr. Biden’s decision leaves the U.S. justice system.

Guest: Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for The New York Times.
