U.S. President Joe Biden confirmed that he will not grant a pardon to his son Hunter, who is on trial for charges related to illegal possession of firearms. In an exclusive interview with ABC News at the Normandy cemetery in France, on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the host asked Biden if he would accept the outcome of his son's trial in Wilmington, Delaware, to which he replied, "Yes." Biden also said "Yes" when asked if he would rule out pardoning Hunter.
Hunter Biden, 54 years old and the only surviving son of the U.S. president, is facing three criminal charges. Federal prosecutors accuse him of lying on a form to obtain a firearm in 2018 when he denied his drug addiction, particularly to cocaine, which he later admitted. Hunter is also facing tax fraud charges in a separate case, and he is involved in a lawsuit from his ex-wife regarding violations of their divorce agreement, which has been under review privately for several years. This trial is historic as no son of a sitting president has faced criminal charges before.
