WASHINGTON EXAMINER
President Joe Biden will not pardon his son Hunter, the White House said Friday.
The younger Biden faces up to 17 years in prison following his second indictment in four months, with the new chargesrelated to unfiled and unpaid taxes. Joe Biden has said in the past that he will not pardon Hunter Biden, a stance that apparently still holds.
“Nothing has changed,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One. “That is still the case.”
Special counsel David Weisshanded down the nine-count indictment Thursday evening, leading to renewed questions about the fate of Hunter Biden and just how tied in Joe Biden was with his son’s doings.
The White House has been tight-lipped since the indictment came down. Joe Biden did not take questions from reporters before boarding Air Force One, and a spokesperson referred questions about the indictment from the Washington Examiner to the Department of Justice.
