Still NO PARDON for Hunter Biden, outgoing Democratic White House insists

The possibility of presidential son Hunter Biden being pardoned remains off the table, the outgoing Democratic White House has insisted.

The executive branch has previously rejected the prospect of outgoing President Joe Biden pardoning his son multiple times, according to Just The News. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre again stressed this stance on Nov. 7.

“Our answer stands, which is no,” she told reporters that day. Jean-Pierre answered in the negative when pressed whether the incumbent Democratic chief executive would commute his son’s sentence, saying: “That’s not what we’re going to do.”

In June, the younger Biden was convicted on three federal charges in relation to his purchase of a firearm while being addicted to illegal drugs. One of the three charges he was found guilty of was lying on a federal form to buy the gun. Hunter, 54, also pleaded guilty to multiple tax charges –staving off a second criminal trial this year, just before it was set to begin.

His June conviction made history as “the first criminal conviction of a sitting president’s child.” Hunter is scheduled to be sentenced in the gun trial on Dec. 4, after a federal judge agreed to push back his sentencing.

According to court filings, the presidential son faces up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000. But Just The News noted that first-time offenders rarely get the maximum sentences.

Talk of the presidential son’s pardon emerged following the victory of President-elect Donald Trump over outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris on Nov. 5. Last month, Trump said he hasn’t ruled out a pardon for the younger Biden.

The real estate mogul told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that despite Hunter being “a bad boy,” he “wouldn’t take it off the books.”

Sen. Johnson: Commuting Hunter’s sentence could unite the country

The president-elect isn’t the only one open to giving the younger Biden a respite. U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) earlier said that he hoped Trump would mull commuting Hunter’s sentence once the real estate mogul is inaugurated as the 47th president in January. This, the senator argued, could be one way to unite the country.

“From my standpoint, I think we should be looking at some measure of mercy there,” Johnson remarked. “Again, I don’t want to get ahead of myself because he hasn’t been sentenced yet.”

But if the senator for the Badger State had his way, he wouldn’t be pardoning Hunter Biden and has suggested that Trump do the same.

“I wouldn’t really want to pardon because I don’t want to excuse the behavior. I don’t think he should pardon Hunter. I think we need to be very careful about having a dual system of justice where the powerful or the sons and daughters of the powerful, get off scot-free.”

Republicans in both the House of Representatives and the Senate have launched numerous investigations into the presidential son and how his overseas business dealings involved his father Joe, 81. Johnson and U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) have spearheaded the Senate GOP’s investigations into Hunter and allegations of corruption surrounding the Biden family.

Moreover, Johnson has criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Biden administration for its double standards. The senator argued that the DOJ has purportedly treated the presidential son’s alleged crimes with kid gloves while launching politically motivated criminal investigations into the 45th and now 47th president.
