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.
Because Biden is the political equivalent of a turkey sandwich. Boring, bland, nobody’s favorite, hard to criticize, hard to love, forgettable. Deflecting blame off the last guy is all they got and it’s pathetic how hard they’re reaching.
