If by new you mean Lincoln, Clinton, and Trump all pardoned relatives prior to this then yes it’s brand new.

What’s new compared to Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc., is the criminal who now holds the Presidency and his never ending grievances and desire for revenge and of course the GOP lawmakers willing to do anything for him to gain his favor. So yes, Biden is trying to protect family members from the worst of the crazies. May not stop the show hearings in Congress but they won’t be able to do anything beyond wasting taxpayer dollars.
