After Trump's victory, White House makes surprising Hunter Biden announcement
White House confirms President Biden wont use his remaining time to pardon his son Hunter. The 54-year-old faces sentencing for gun-related charges and tax issues in the coming weeks
In a post-election development‚ the White House made it clear that Hunter Biden wont receive any presidential pardons before his father leaves office. The statement comes right after Donald Trumpʼs election win
The 54-year old Hunter Biden faces sentencing in early Dec for lying about his drug-use on a gun-purchase form (making him the first-ever presidential child with a criminal record). He also entered a guilty plea for tax-related issues about two months ago
Thatʼs not what weʼre going to do
Trump shared his thoughts on the situation: “Unlike Joe Biden despite what theyve done to me; I wouldnt take it off the books.“ The ex-and-future president made these comments while speaking with radio host Hugh Hewitt last month; suggesting he might consider pardoning Hunter Biden
The White House press-secretary Karine Jean-Pierre doubled-down on the administrations position when asked about possible sentence changes: our answer stands which is no. The statement shows Bidenʼs commitment to letting legal processes run their course
