President Joe Biden made it clear in a recent interview that he would not consider pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, if he were to be found guilty of criminal gun charges. When asked directly about the possibility of a pardon, Biden responded with a definitive 'Yes,' indicating that he would rule out such an action.
The ongoing trial, now in its fourth day in Wilmington, has garnered significant attention due to the involvement of the president's son. Despite the familial connection, Biden emphasized that he would respect the outcome of the trial, reaffirming his commitment to upholding the rule of law.
In the interview, Biden also took the opportunity to criticize his predecessor, Donald Trump, accusing him of attempting to undermine the legal process by questioning the verdict in his own criminal trial. Biden asserted that Trump's actions were aimed at subverting the rule of law and emphasized the importance of accepting the decisions made by the judicial system.
'He's trying to undermine it,' Biden stated in reference to Trump's behavior. 'He got a fair trial. The jury spoke.' The president's remarks underscored his belief in the integrity of the legal system and his commitment to upholding its principles.
