President Joe Biden on Thursday said he will not commute his son Hunter’s sentence following the latter’s conviction on three felony gun charges Tuesday.
Biden also maintained Thursday he would not pardon his son, which he originally said during an appearance on ABC News last week.
“I am extremely proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He’s one of the brightest, most decent men I know,” Biden said during a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Group of Seven summit in Italy. “I abide by the jury’s decision. I will do that, and I will not pardon him.”
