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.

    Something something drain the swamp. Trump drained the swamp by appointing his kids and his friends kids White House positions and forcing everyone to use his hotels.

    Don’t even get me started how Fauci is corrupt!

    There is no logic in the Republican Party

      It’s really amazing how much these people hate doctors and healthcare. Losing their shot over Obamacare and then going as far as death threats to fauci for daring to suggest you wear a mask get vaccinated and wash your fucking hands. The horror.

        It’s become a party of resentment. Doctors tell them they’re wrong so they resent doctors. Colleges tell them that their ideas are historically inaccurate and broken so they resent colleges. Artists and celebrities criticize their ideas and politicians so they resent artists and celebrities. Athletes don’t go along with their beliefs so they resent athletes. When Trump won, they had lost multiple presidential elections in a row and he promised that he’d get even with all those people. He harassed athletes and celebrities and cut funding to colleges and doctors, all because of resentment.

        GOP is nothing but the party of grievances. They didn’t even discuss policy at the last debate.
