White House confirms outgoing President Biden will not pardon his son, Hunter

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Hunter Biden is expected to be sentenced next month for both his gun purchasing charges and tax fraud charges.

As his father's last weeks in the Oval Office play out, the looming question of who President Joe Biden will pardon came up during Thursday's White House press briefing.

A reporter asked if Biden had any intention of pardoning his son, Hunter.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded, "Our answer stands, which is no."

White House Press Secretary Karine did her part to engage the White House Press Corp over the years. It's more than can be said about the previous four White House Press Secretaries Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, Stephanie Grisham, and Kayleigh McEnany, who often went on hiatus from addressing the White House Press Corp on a daily basis in Washington, D.C.

No worries there’s a spot on the View or MSNBC wait for you!

The better question would have been “Did any of the people, people who feel their actions make them susceptible to legal consequences as retribution, submitted official or unofficial requests for pardons?
