Biden<\/h2>\n<p>The White House made it clear on Friday\u200b that President Joe Biden will\u200c not grant a pardon to \u2062his son, Hunter\u200c Biden, if he is convicted on the felony\u2063 charges brought against him this week.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter \u2062Biden was indicted on September \u200c14 \u2062in a federal court in Delaware.\u2063 The\u200b charges include two counts of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sidney-powell-is-an-american-legal-giant\/\" title=\"Sidney Powell Is an American Legal Giant\">making false statements<\/a> on federal \u200bforms and one count of\u2062 unlawful \u200bpossession of a \u2062firearm while addicted \u2064to a controlled substance.<\/p>\n<p>When \u2063asked \u200dabout the possibility of \u200da \u2064pardon or sentence commutation for his \u200dson, White House press secretary Karine\u2062 Jean-Pierre firmly stated \u2063that \u200cit would not happen.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Related

President \u200cBiden, as House Republicans initiated a\u200c <a

its\u200b leaders, President Biden has remained relatively\u200d silent, stating that he is &#8220;focused on the things the \u200dAmerican people want me focused on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked if the indictment of his son has affected President Biden&#8217;s mental focus ahead \u2064of\u200b the \u200cUnited Nations General Assembly, National Security Adviser Jake\u200b Sullivan reiterated the president&#8217;s commitment to delivering\u200c for\u2062 the American people.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan stated, \u2062&#8221;You \u2063don&#8217;t have to take \u2064it from me; you heard directly from the\u2062 president that he&#8217;s focused on \u200cdelivering for the American people. \u2063That&#8217;s \u2064true in terms\u200c of what he&#8217;s trying to\u2064 get done here at home, and it&#8217;s\u200b definitely \u2064true in terms of what he&#8217;s trying \u200dto\u200b deliver in the way of\u2062 security at the \u200bUN General Assembly in supporting Ukraine and moving forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan also confirmed\u2063 that he\u2062 had participated in the president&#8217;s daily briefing \u2062and found him &#8220;dialed in&#8221; on the key issues as they head into\u2062 the New \u200dYork week.<\/p>\n<p>The president\u200c has rarely addressed his \u200dson&#8217;s legal troubles, only offering \u2062brief expressions of\u2063 love and support on occasion.<\/p>\n<p>When \u2063asked if President Biden has discussed \u200bthe indictment\u200c with his son, Jean-Pierre declined to comment on the \u200dpresident&#8217;s\u2063 private conversations with \u200cfamily\u2063 members.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How\u200b does the decision to not grant a pardon to Hunter Biden reflect President Biden&#8217;s commitment to the principles of justice and equality<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Potential leniency. As a result, the case proceeded to indictment, and if convicted, Hunter \u200dBiden could face serious consequences\u2064 including imprisonment and fines.<\/p>\n<p>The decision by President \u200bBiden and the White House to not grant a pardon to\u200b his son has been met with mixed reactions. Critics argue that this decision demonstrates a commitment to upholding the rule \u200bof law and ensuring that no individual, regardless of their familial ties, is above the law. This approach emphasizes accountability and sends a message that no one should be \u200bexempt from facing the consequences of their actions.<\/p>\n<p>On the \u2062other\u200c hand, some individuals\u2063 believe \u200bthat President Biden should exercise his presidential powers to pardon his son, citing the need to protect and support family members in times of difficulty. They\u2064 argue that a\u200b pardon would not only save Hunter Biden from potential imprisonment \u2062but also shield\u200c him from the negative impact that\u200d a criminal record could have on \u200chis personal and professional life.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that the decision to grant a pardon is undoubtedly a complex \u2064and delicate matter, especially when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-says-biden-wont-pardon-his-son-in-wake-of-indictment\/\" title=\"White House: No Pardon for Biden's Son Amid Indictment.\">involving close \u2062family\u2062 members<\/a>. It <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/utah-bill-barring-transgender-surgeries-for-children-is-toothless\/\" title=\"Utah Bill Barring Transgender Surgeries For Children Is Toothless\">requires careful consideration<\/a> of legal, ethical, and political implications. By choosing not to pardon his son, President Biden is prioritizing \u200bthe\u200c principle of impartiality and avoiding any appearance of nepotism or favoritism.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, this decision aligns with President Biden&#8217;s broader commitment to restore integrity and transparency in government institutions. It \u2062sends a powerful message \u2062that the\u2063 actions of public officials and their\u2062 families will be held to the highest standards of accountability, without exceptions\u200c or special treatments.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to remember that this case should proceed through the judicial\u2062 process, where Hunter Biden will have the opportunity to present his\u2064 defense \u200cand a fair\u2064 judgment\u200c will\u2062 be reached based on the evidence presented. Whether or not he is ultimately convicted, the fact \u2062that\u200c the White House has\u2064 taken a \u2064firm stance against granting him a pardon underscores the administration&#8217;s dedication to\u200b upholding the principles of justice and equality.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the White House&#8217;s announcement that President Joe Biden \u2062will\u2064 not pardon his son, Hunter Biden, if\u200b he is convicted on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-mayor-of-rochester-husband-face-new-federal-gun-charges\/\" title=\"Democrat mayor of Rochester &#038; husband face new federal gun charges\">felony charges brought<\/a> \u2063against him reflects a commitment to the rule \u200bof law and equal treatment\u200b under it. This decision highlights President Biden&#8217;s dedication to accountability and transparency, as well \u2062as his desire to avoid any appearance of favoritism or nepotism. As the legal proceedings continue, the weight of Hunter Biden&#8217;s actions will be assessed impartially by the court, ensuring that \u2062justice is served.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House confirmed that President Joe Biden won&#8217;t pardon his son, Hunter Biden, if he&#8217;s found guilty of the felony charges filed against him.
