Donald Trump wouldn't be surprised if Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden if he was convicted.
In an interview with Breitbart News, President Trump said: [Joe Biden] I would do anything. I think he is someone who can do anything. He probably will. ”
The White House has insisted that Joe Biden has no intention of pardoning Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden is facing several criminal charges.
Trump was also asked why he didn't pardon himself before leaving the White House.
President Trump said his lawyers said it could and would be upheld in court, but that it would have been “totally inappropriate.”
Former President Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential front-runner, told Breitbart News exclusively last week that if Democratic President Joe Biden is convicted of the many criminal charges facing him, his son will probably die. He said he expected Hunter Biden to be pardoned.

Because they hate you,” and they hate you. They have Trump Derangement Syndrome, so I said, “Sir, please forgive yourself now so I don't have to go through that again.'' And I said, “For the sake of history. I don't want that.'' I didn't do anything wrong, so I don't want that history of forgiving myself. ”
