Biden Will Not Pardon Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has reaffirmed that he will not pardon his son, Hunter Biden, who faces sentencing for federal gun and tax-related charges. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated during a briefing that the president's position remains unchanged, emphasizing that there will be no pardons or commutations for Hunter. Hunter Biden was convicted in June for lying on a gun purchase form while battling addiction and pleaded guilty to tax evasion in September, with sentencing set for December. Despite the potential for prison time, Biden has indicated he will not interfere in the judicial process regarding his son's legal issues. Hunter claims he is a victim of political persecution due to his father's presidency. This decision comes as Biden enters a lame-duck period following the recent presidential election.
