President Joe Biden said Thursday he would not issue a presidential sentence commutation for Hunter Biden following his conviction earlier this week on federal gun charges.

ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Selina Wang reported that Biden was asked about the issue following his press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Italy...

Reporters shouting over music pressed Biden, "Would you commute Hunter's sentence?" and "Mr. President, do you plan on commuting your son's sentence?"

The president answered with a "no."

The exchange occurred one day after the White House declined to rule out a commutation.

How will they walk back this statement?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Lie as usual. After the election 100000% guaranteed he will pardon the crackhead.

[cableguymn]

after the election win or lose he won’t care.

[TornadoAlley3]

Said he would only serve one term….

[Yo-Yo]

How will they walk back this statement?

After he loses in November, they won't have to worry about walking back anything, he'll just do it.

[plain talk]

Does Biden even know the difference between a pardon and a commutation?

[Joann37]

He said he was not PLANNING on commuting the sentence.

He will just say his plans have changed.

[stanne]

Biden says a lot of things.

....another lie from this PoS of a [pretend] President...he has spent his entire career based on lies; why should we believe him now...??

[Leep]

He’s saving it for the BIG Trial.

[Dr. Franklin]

Lie as usual. After the election 100000% guaranteed he will pardon the crackhead.

Unless he suddenly drops dead, he will pardon Hunter, his brother and all Biden family members and friends in the Biden family business of influence peddling as unlicensed foreign agents, which is all very illegal. If Slow Joe just has a stroke, Nurse Jill will guide his hand to write the pardons. Anyone who thinks this won't happen is an idiot, of which there are many on the Left.

[Leep]

He didn’t say he wouldn’t pardon him..?

[Eagles6]

He knows the sentence will not include prison.

“How will they walk back this statement?”

Whoever told Biden to say this probably knows Biden will not be president in November; that woman, Kamala, will be president then.

She can pardon or commute Hunter's sentence; no problem. If she feels like it.

There is a switcheroo ahead and President Trump needs to start talking about it so everyone will not be caught off-guard when it happens.

Joe Lies constantly.

Just like he had the GOP move the Debt ceiling and the Waiver of Ukraine “Loans” until just after the Election, watch out after his last Election is over on Nov 5th.

Once Elected, he could care less about Polls and favorability ratings.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yes! I forgot about that, the influence peddling to the tune of millions of bucks. We even have an audio tape of Hunter on the phone with the Chinese demanding $5 million and telling them his dad is sitting right next to him.

[dartuser]

This is all to get Trump in jail ...

[Sicon]

He won’t have to commute it, because it’s going to be supervised release/probation, at worst.

Check out his new campaign ad, everything in it is false..More proof for my theory that leftist, indoctrinated, "progressive", non-binary White house interns with green, blue, hair are running the country, not Obama. The same turds that were in Antifa are telling him what to do
