A federal judge in California agreed to end a tax case against Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, once the court receives the formal pardon but questioned the president’s claim that his son was unfairly treated.

In a five-page order published on Dec. 3, U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi criticized some of the “representations” contained within a statement published by the White House on Dec. 1 announcing the pardon against Hunter Biden.
