President Biden said Thursday he would not pardon his son, Hunter Biden, and would accept the outcome of his son’s federal gun trial, which is taking place in Delaware.
ABC News anchor David Muir asked Biden in an interview in Normandy if he would accept the outcome of Hunter Biden’s trial. Biden responded “yes.”
Biden also told Muir “yes” when asked if he would rule out a pardon for Hunter. The White House has previously said multiple times Biden would not pardon his son if he were convicted of a crime.
Hunter Biden’s trial began this week in Wilmington, Del., where he is facing felony charges that he lied on federal forms about his drug use to unlawfully purchase a gun in 2018.
If convicted on all three counts, Hunter Biden faces a maximum of 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines. The trial is expected to last about two weeks.
