"The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert also jokes that the pardon ruined Christmas for Biden's other family members.

Donald Trump's attorneys mentioned Hunter Biden in a filing arguing the New York criminal case against the president-elect should be dismissed.

Jon Stewart said he respects President Biden for pardoning his son but mocked Democrats who framed his prior stance as their 'Mason-Dixon Line of morality.'

Stephen Colbert joked during his monologue on Monday that he doesn't know if Joe Biden pardoning his son, Hunter, was "the right thing to do, but you certainly earned that world's greatest dad mug." Colbert was of course referring to the announcement made on Sunday that Biden has given his son a full pardon for any crimes — including "offenses against the United States" (uhhh) — committed between Jan.

The Thanksgiving weekend has been dominated by news of President Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter — who was due to face imminent sentencing for federal gun violations and tax charges — after saying repeatedly that he wouldn't do it.

Jon Stewart dished out his acting skills - and a Thanksgiving dinner - as he assumed the part of Hunter Biden at a family feast making eyes at his father to not-so-subtly drop the hint that he wanted a pardon for Christmas.

The Democrats made this case an example of why Americans should believe in our system," Comedian Jon Stewart said.
