Biden library reportedly under threat by Democrats enraged by Hunter pardon

Senior party figures consider withholding contributions to presidential library to express anger at pardon for son

Senior Democrats are reportedly considering withholding contributions to Joe Biden's future presidential library amid a mounting backlash over his decision grant a blanket pardon to his son Hunter.

The threat has emerged as simmering anger among congressional Democrats - already building over the president's insistence on seeking a second term before belatedly stepping aside as the party nominee in favour of Kamala Harris - has burst into the open over Sunday's pardon, which Biden had previously vowed not to give.
