President Joe Biden will not pardon Hunter Biden if he’s convicted on federal charges, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday.
Asked during the daily briefing if the president would pardon or commute his son’s sentence if he gets convicted on the gun charges against him, Jean-Pierre told reporters he would not. It’s the first time the White House has explicitly said a potential pardon is not on the table following Hunter Biden’s indictment this week.
In her response, Jean-Pierre noted that she answered a similar question after the president’s son was first hit with a felony gun charge.
Let’s waste less time on this non-story. How about both parties in power focus on helping the average American citizen?
The difference between how Biden is dealing with this and how Trump dealt with crimes committed by those around him is very much relevant to understand how they see and run the state and that has an impact on people’s everyday lives. Personally, I’m not a big fan of Biden, but pretending there’s no difference between him and Trump is disingenuous to say the least.
I’m not a huge Biden fan but I’m surprised how much he’s grown on me. Definitely not my first choice but he’s done way better than expected.
i thought it was because they are more worried about campaigning to be reelected at this point
…why is this at -10?
