President Joe Biden on Monday pardoned his siblings and their spouses, saying his family had been “subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics.”

According to three people who were told about the family discussions but were not directly involved with them, there is no immediate expectation that the president will listen to their advice. 

President Biden hunkered down with his chief adviser, first lady Jill, and other relatives at Camp David on Sunday to discuss the future of his re-election campaign after last week’s debate debacle, a new report said.

People close to Biden, 81, believe that ultimately, only the president and his wife will determine the future of his presidency, NBC News reported, citing several top Democrat sources.
