White House confirms: No pardon for Hunter Biden.

President Biden Will Not Pardon Hunter Biden Amid Legal Woes

White House press secretary⁣ Karine Jean-Pierre​ made it clear on Thursday that President Joe Biden⁣ will not be ​issuing a pardon for his son, Hunter, amidst his ongoing⁢ legal troubles.

“No,”‌ Jean-Pierre definitively responded ⁣when asked about the possibility of ⁤a ⁣pardon.

Jean-Pierre’s statement comes in the wake of a failed plea deal⁢ between Hunter Biden and the Department of Justice, which ⁤occurred ⁣on Wednesday. Federal judge Maryellen Noreika rejected the deal and instructed both prosecutors and Biden’s ⁢legal team ⁤to come up with a ⁤new agreement.

The original deal would have allowed Hunter Biden to plead guilty to ⁤misdemeanor tax crimes and receive ‍immunity for a wide range of⁤ criminal charges, all while avoiding ‌imprisonment.

Despite the collapse ‍of⁣ the plea deal, Jean-Pierre defended the DOJ’s⁤ investigation into Hunter⁢ Biden, emphasizing that it was conducted independently.

“The case was handled independently, as all of you⁣ know, by the Justice Department, under the⁣ leadership of a prosecutor appointed by the former president, President Trump,” ⁣Jean-Pierre stated on Wednesday.

When asked for further comment, Jean-Pierre‍ declined, stating that “Hunter Biden is a private citizen ⁢and​ this is a personal matter for him.”

President Biden’s Distance ‌from ⁢Hunter Biden’s Business

President Joe Biden has consistently distanced himself from his son’s lucrative foreign business ventures.

“I have never discussed with my son or ⁢my ⁤brother or anyone else anything ‌having to‍ do with their⁣ business, period,” Biden stated in August 2019.

However, House Republicans have recently uncovered evidence suggesting coordination between the president and his ⁢son regarding ‌business dealings.​ Devon Archer, a former friend of Hunter Biden, is expected to testify before Congress next week, revealing that then-Vice President Joe Biden was present in ⁣meetings with Hunter Biden’s foreign ​business⁢ partners.
