Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that the president would not pardon or commute Hunter Biden's sentence if he's convicted on federal gun charges.

President Joe Biden will not pardon Hunter Biden if he’s convicted on federal charges, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday.

Asked during the daily briefing if the president would pardon or commute his son’s sentence if he gets convicted on the gun charges against him, Jean-Pierre told reporters he would not. It’s the first time the White House has explicitly said a potential pardon is not on the table following Hunter Biden’s indictment this week.

In her response, Jean-Pierre noted that she answered a similar question after the president’s son was first hit with a felony gun charge.

    Drop in the bucket holding the American legal system.

    If that was the reason he chose not to pardon his son, that would be very nice of him though, I guess.
