Part 3/7:
One notable concern stemming from the pardon is Hunter Biden's newly diminished protection against congressional questioning and legal challenges. Following a pardon, Hunter is susceptible to being called before congressional committees, grand juries, and other investigative bodies, potentially exposing his family to further scrutiny regarding their business dealings, particularly with Burisma Holdings and issues surrounding Ukraine.
Critically, Dtz notes that while Hunter cannot incriminate himself regarding his own actions prior to the pardon, he can still be asked questions that implicate others, including his father. This raises the possibility of politically charged hearings that could place Hunter in a difficult position regarding his testimony.
