KJP Declines to Say if Biden Would Rule Out Commuting Hunter’s Sentence – Despite Previous Comment

President Joe Biden has ruled out pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, but what about commuting his sentence?

During a press gaggle aboard Air Force One after the younger Biden was found guilty of three felony charges for illegally purchasing a firearm, a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “ has said that he has ruled out pardoning his son. But I wondered about a commutation, whether would be something that would be on the table?”

“So look, as I stated at the top, I don’t have anything to say — to your first question — beyond what the president’s statement was yesterday,” Jean-Pierre responded. “He’s been very clear, we’ve been very clear, he loves his son.”

Another reporter asked, “You’re not ruling out that Biden would commute Hunter’s sentence?”

“What I’m saying is that… I have not spoken to the president about this. And what I’m saying is, he was asked about a pardon. He was asked about… the trial specifically, and he answered it very clearly,” Jean-Pierre said.

She added, “As we know, the sentencing hasn’t even been scheduled yet. I don’t have anything beyond what the president’s said.”
