Joe Biden was privately discussing pardoning Hunter Biden as recently as June, according to a new report from NBC.
The Biden administration, including Biden himself, had publicly said it would not pardon Hunter Biden.
Biden, 82, is using his pardon power to keep Hunter Biden, who is nearing the end of his term in the White House and has no future election, from spending time in prison. In recent months, he has said he has no intention of pardoning or commuting his son's sentence.
In June, after a jury found Hunter Biden guilty of three federal firearms charges, he said, “I will not forgive him.”
The president has been discussing pardoning his son with some of his aides since at least Hunter Biden's conviction in June, according to two people with direct knowledge of discussions on the matter. They said it was decided at that point that he would publicly say he would not forgive his son, even if it remained on the table.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently told reporters that Biden's position has not changed.
“We've been asked that question many times, and our answer is no,” she said.
