Former President Donald Trump is expressing empathy for the Biden family after the conviction of Hunter Biden.
Fox News’ Aishah Hasnie asked if President Joe Biden should pardon or commute the sentence for his son.
“I understand it pretty well, because I’ve had it with people who have it in their family,” Trump responded.
He added, “It’s a very tough situation for a father; it’s a very tough situation for a brother or sister; and it goes on, and it’s not stopping, whether it’s alcohol or drugs or whatever it may be. It’s a tough thing, and so that’s a tough moment for the family. It’s a tough moment for any family involved in that.”
However, he did not address whether the president should issue a pardon for his son.

Hunter Biden was charged with three felony gun charges in September after a plea deal fell apart.
The charges stem from allegations he illegally purchased a firearm while he was addicted to crack cocaine.
And on Tuesday morning, he was found guilty on all charges.
In a statement on after Hunter Biden’s guilty verdict on Tuesday, the elder Biden said, “As I said last week, I am the President, but I am also a Dad. Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today. So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery.”
“As I also said last week, I will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our. love and support. Nothing will ever change that.”
The president has said he will not pardon his son or commute his sentence.
