Biden Administration Faces Backlash After Pardon for Hunter Biden Despite Earlier Denials: A reemerged video of White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has gone viral, angering internet users after she repeatedly refused to confirm or deny that President Joe Biden would pardon his son Hunter Biden. I’m pretty sure that in the video, Jean-Pierre is indeed saying there will be “no” pardon for Hunter given that he was to be prosecuted on federal charges related to gun possession and tax evasion.
The statement alone negates President Biden’s December 1 decision to grant a pardon to his son after the latter was convicted. Earlier in the months, Biden was unyieldingly firm about not pardoning Hunter. In June, during the peak of Hunter’s legal troubles, Biden was, in fact, quite clear: “I respect the jury’s verdict.
