President Joe Biden on June 13 spoke about his son Hunter’s conviction in a federal gun trial, telling reporters that he accepted the guilty verdict and would not pardon or commute his son’s sentence.
The comments came just days after a jury in Delaware found Hunter Biden guilty of all three felony charges in the trial, which probed the First Son’s descent into drug addiction after the death of his brother, Beau, in 2015.
Mr. Biden was found guilty of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, falsely claiming on his application that he was not a drug user at the time of purchase, and then unlawfully possessing the gun for 11 days.
President Biden addressed the issue during a news conference at the G7 summit in Italy.
“I’m extremely proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He’s one of the brightest, most decent men I know,” he said.
“I am satisfied that I’m not going to do anything. I said I'd abide by the jury decision ... and I will not pardon him.”
