A federal judge dismissed the gun case against Hunter Biden, following a sweeping pardon from President Joe Biden. The pardon has led to significant political ramifications, as critics from both parties question the decision.

US District Judge Maryellen Noreika's decision to close the case arrives a week before Hunter Biden's sentencing was scheduled. Despite facing up to 25 years in prison, his status as a first-time offender likely meant a less severe punishment.
