President Joe Biden confirmed on Thursday that he would not pardon his son Hunter Biden, if he was convicted in his gun trial.
The president and the White House have previously claimed Joe Biden would not pardon his own son in the past, but expressed support for Hunter Biden amid the legal battles. Hunter Biden's gun trial, which centers on claims that he lied about his drug addiction status when purchasing a gun in 2018, began on Tuesday.
Joe Biden previously dodged attempts to talk about his son's trial, and did not go into detail in an ABC News interview on Thursday. But responded in the affirmative when asked if he would accept the results of the gun trial. He also said "yes" when asked if he ruled out a pardon for his son.
The commander-in-chief also put out a statement of support for his son on Monday, the day before the trial began, but said he would not be commenting on the trial any further.
“Hunter’s resilience in the face of adversity and the strength he has brought to his recovery are inspiring to us,” the president said, The Hill reported. “A lot of families have loved ones who have overcome addiction and know what we mean. As the President, I don’t and won’t comment on pending federal cases, but as a Dad, I have boundless love for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength.”
Joe Biden also commented on former President Donald Trump's hush money trial, and said Trump was trying to subvert the rule of law. Trump was convicted last week on 34 felony counts of falsifying his business records to hide the hush money payment.
"He's trying to undermine it," the president told ABC News. "He got a fair trial. The jury spoke."

Biden doesn’t mean anything he says.
Joe Biden confirms he will not pardon his son Hunter if convicted ..
He won’t be convicted is the obvious as you stated.
What does Joe Biden have to do with this?
If he opened his mouth, he’s lying.
Yup. They have deluded themselves.
The Democrats fixed Trump’s trial and got a conviction on an innocent man.
The Democrats have fixed Hunter’s trial and get an acquittal for a guilty man.
And the Democrats think it’s as simple as that. No one can question it. The jury spoke and we’re done here.
Meanwhile, the general public seethes with rage. But the Establishment is oblivious.
Presidential pardoning powers for federal crimes.
In my best Maury Povich voice, “And survey says, that’s a lie.”
Either the fix is in for the Bidens or the fix is in to dump Joe at the convention.
The verdict will be quite telling.
“”Biden doesn’t mean anything he says.””
He doesn’t even know what he’s said....
In DE, I don’t think the Bidens have anything to worry about!!!

WHOOPS!!!!!
Joe Biden is counting on Hunter not being convicted. Seems pretty sure of the outcome, being as it is in Delaware and all.
HE WILL, his last day in office!
I’m sure agents of the FBI and IRS have already conveyed this message in one on one meetings with the jurors.
They'll probably throw the guy who sold him the pistol in jail.
If convicted, all liberal news will print: “Joe Biden, father of convicted felon”! Fer SURE! or not.
He will after the election win or lose.
Yep. The fix is in.
Biden feels confident in making that statement because he knows Hunter will not be found guilty.
Will Obama pressure Joe to pardon P. Diddy is the real crime.
