Joe Biden’s debate against Donald Trump was supposed to prove the aging president’s stamina.
But in the weeks leading up to it he was devastated—and distracted—by his son’s legal travails.
June 3, Hunter Biden reported to a federal courthouse in Wilmington, Del., to face three felony charges for lying on a federal firearms application and possessing a gun while abusing drugs.
To prove Hunter Biden was abusing drugs when he purchased the gun, prosecutors planned to call three star witnesses: his ex-girlfriend, whom he met when she was a stripper; his ex-wife, the mother of three of his daughters; and Beau’s widow, with whom he started a romantic relationship after his brother’s death.
Joe Biden was at the White House when the verdict came in on June 11: Guilty on all counts.
Some closest to Biden feared that the ordeal of Hunter’s trial would make it harder to muster the necessary stamina. Their worst fears played out on the debate stage in Atlanta on June 27, when Biden struggled to put together sentences.
Biden had repeatedly ruled out pardoning his son.
On Nantucket over Thanksgiving, Biden reached his decision: He would grant Hunter a full and unconditional pardon. Top officials at the Justice Department were shocked.
On Jan. 20, as his last act in office, he preemptively pardoned his own three siblings and two of their spouses.

Joe Biden told the country in 2020 that Hunter’s laptop, which disclosed much of his unseemly behavior, was Russian disinformation.
