The White House reaffirmed that President Biden will not pardon his son, Hunter Biden, though critics speculate the president will pardon the first son before leaving office.
Speculation is mounting that President Biden will pardon his son, Hunter Biden, who was recently found guilty in a federal gun trial, despite the president and his staffers saying he will not give the first son a pass amid his legal troubles. 'I’ve been very clear; the president is not going to pardon his son,' White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in December.
Republicans have speculated the president will pardon his son, with Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz saying the odds of Biden pardoning Hunter sit at 100%. 'I'm going to place the odds that Joe Biden pardons Hunter Biden at 100%. Hunter Biden will get a pardon as a result of this decision,' Cruz said during his podcast, 'Verdict with Ted Cruz,' on Monday, referring to Biden’s decision this week to drop out of the presidential race.
Hunter Biden has not yet been sentenced in the case. President Biden bowed out of the presidential election on Sunday afternoon in a letter posted to X. The White House and campaign had for weeks denied Biden would withdraw from the race, claiming he was in the election to win his rematch against former President Trump. Biden was self-isolating in Delaware after a COVID-19 diagnosis when he announced he would no longer seek a second term. He returned to Washington, D.C.
