Watch all the times Karine Jean-Pierre insisted Biden would NOT pardon son Hunter before shock U-turn: 'This didn't age well'

Daily Mail  

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had repeatedly emphasized that President Joe Biden would not intervene in legal proceedings involving his son, Hunter Biden, with her words coming back to haunt her on Sunday night. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had repeatedly emphasized that President Joe Biden would not intervene in legal proceedings involving his son, Hunter Hunter Biden was convicted in June of lying on a federal form when he purchased a gun in 2018 and swore that he wasn't a drug user. In June of this year, during another heated press briefing, Jean-Pierre was questioned directly about whether Biden would pardon his son amid the federal investigations into Hunter's business dealings. President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, on Sunday night, sparing the younger Biden a possible prison sentence for federal felony gun and tax convictions Critics of the administration suggested that Biden's close relationship with his son might ultimately influence his decision-making but Jean-Pierre continued to counter such claims The speculation only heated up as summer wore on when in August journalists once again pressed Jean-Pierre for clarity, with one asking whether the President might reconsider his position in light of potential charges and whether he would tell Vice President Kamala Harris not to pardon his son if she were elected.
