Hunter Biden may no longer have the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent if called to testify under oath for his actions over the past 11 years after President Joe Biden pardoned the first son, legal experts say.

The pardon, announced Sunday, not only absolves Hunter of his recent legal troubles but also grants immunity for any crimes he may have committed between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2024. The time frame covered by the pardon is essential to Republican-led investigations into Hunter Biden’s foreign lobbying and financial dealings, raising questions about the extent of the president’s involvement in his son’s business interests.
