He more or less has...kinda. Hunter was the bag man who collected all the cash. He's immune now, but as I understand it he can still be compelled to testify. If Joe will pardon Hunter he'll probably issue one for his brother also. - Dope

There was discussion of this exact point on the network that shall not be named. The consensus among among those legal scholars was that Hunter has no fifth amendment protection given the pardon. Hunter can be hauled before investigative committees and compelled to answer.

If it was later proved Hunter committed perjury giving such testimony, I would think that would be a separate crime falling outside the scope of the pardon and be subject to prosecution.
