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.

    It’s their only avenue to ‘hurt’ Biden, also it’s the old 'I’ll do to you what you do to me shit, because they’re all getting charged with shit left right and centre, they’re gonna do it to them, just for the fuck of it.
