The White House isn’t ruling out a potential commutation for Hunter Biden after his conviction
SUMMARY
The White House has not ruled out a potential commutation for Hunter Biden, who was recently convicted on three federal gun charges. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that sentencing has yet to be scheduled and that she has not discussed the issue with President Joe Biden since the verdict. While President Biden ruled out pardoning his son in a recent ABC News interview, Jean-Pierre did not provide a definitive answer on the possibility of a commutation. Hunter Biden was convicted of making false statements on a gun purchase form and possessing a firearm while addicted to drugs, facing up to 25 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika will determine his sentence.
