Biden: I Won't Pardon Hunter

President Joe Biden said he would not pardon his son Hunter amid an ongoing felony gun trial during a wide-ranging exclusive interview with ABC News anchor David Muir at the Normandy American Cemetery on the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Muir asked Biden on Thursday if he would accept the outcome of his son's trial in Wilmington, Delaware, to which the president said, "Yes." Biden also said "yes" when asked by Muir if he would rule out a pardon for Hunter.

Well, we'll see what happens at trial and after the election. That's easy to say now, when the jury has yet to reach a verdict. If they convict Hunter and he draws a prison sentence, though, the strategy will likely be to stretch out his bail during the appeals and then Daddy can bail him out permanently. If Biden loses the election, the pardon will be forthcoming no matter what.
