Hunter on the Hook: Joe Says He Won't Pardon Son, Will Respect Verdict; Report

According to an ABC News interview set to air Thursday night, President Biden will respect the verdict in son Hunter’s federal gun trial and will not pardon him.

From The Washington Examiner:

During an interview in Normandy, France, where Joe Biden is commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the president provided a one-word response when asked by ABC whether he had ruled out using his clemency powers in the two federal cases against his son, the other relating to alleged tax evasion.

“Yes,” Joe Biden told the network, according to excerpts before the interview airs in its entirety Thursday night.

Hunter Biden is on trial in Delaware on charges he lied on paperwork to obtain a firearm and illegally carried the weapon despite being addicted to drugs. He has also been indicted in California on nine additional tax-related counts, including tax evasion, with those proceedings expected to start in September.

World News Tonight anchor David Muir, too, asked Joe Biden whether he would respect the verdicts in Hunter Biden’s trials.

“Yes,” Joe Biden said.

The Biden interview is set to air Thursday night.
