President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden this month for federal gun and tax convictions and any 'offenses again
Neil Bush was never charged with a crime for his role in the 1980s financial industry savings and loan scandals. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. settled a lawsuit against him and other corporate officers of the Silverado Banking, Savings and Loan Association.
But these claims are false. The federal government did investigate George H.W. Bush’s son and Jimmy Carter’s brother, but neither one received a pardon.The former presidents never had the chance: neither investigation led to criminal charges that presidential pardon power could have erased., which led more than 1,000 savings and loan associations to close.
Jimmy Carter faced questions throughout his unsuccessful 1980 reelection campaign about his brother’s activity on behalf of the Libyan government. The controversy came to be known as"Billygate."A U.S. Department of Justice investigation found in July 1980 that although Libya paid Billy Carter $220,000, he registered as a Libyan foreign agent only after repeatedly ignoring the department’s notices that he must do so under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
