President Biden Rules Out Pardon for Son Hunter Amidst Gun Charges, Comments on Trump's Conviction

President Joe Biden has confirmed he will not pardon his son Hunter if he is found guilty of felony gun charges during his ongoing trial in Delaware. In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Biden stated, 'Yes,' when asked if he would accept the outcome of the trial and rule out a pardon for his son.

Hunter Biden faces three felony counts related to a 2018 gun purchase and possession while using narcotics. Prosecutors argue that he lied on federal documents about his drug use, which would have barred him from legally obtaining a firearm. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

This is the first time in US history that a child of a sitting president is facing criminal charges.

Biden also commented on former President Trump's recent conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records in New York, stating, 'He got a fair trial. The jury spoke.' Trump has decried the verdict and accused Biden of orchestrating the criminal charges against him.

The Manhattan jury found Trump guilty on all counts in his hush money trial. With this verdict, Trump became the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime.
