White House says 'no' possibility Biden would pardon his son | CNN Politics

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre offered a decisive “no” when pressed if President Biden might consider pardoning his son, Hunter, over felony gun and tax misdemeanor charges

Earlier in the briefing, Jean-Pierre declined to say if the president had spoken to his son after a plea deal fell apart in federal court Wednesday. “I’m really not gonna say anything more than what I shared yesterday – this is a personal matter for Hunter Biden, this is a personal issue,” she said.

The Trump-era Justice Department started investigating Hunter Biden in 2018, and the probe steadily expanded to examine whether he violated money laundering and foreign lobbying laws with his multimillion-dollar overseas business dealings. Federal investigators also looked into Hunter Biden’s unpaid taxes and lavish spending, which came amid a struggle with addiction. US attorney David Weiss has led the investigation.
