He said his father wants the respect of the entire world.
He insisted that his father would not seek revenge on his political foes.

Hunter Biden, President Bidenâs son, has faced a litany of legal issues. In September, he pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges.

In June, Hunter Biden was found guilty of three felony charges related to a gun purchase he made in 2018. Prosecutors said he lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs.
He faces up to 25 years in prison in the gun case.
He is set to be sentenced for both cases in December. President Biden has vowed not to pardon his son.

While Eric Trump insists his father would not seek revenge against his rivals, Donald Trump himself has not ruled out showing mercy.
Last week, Donald Trump refused to rule out pardoning Hunter Biden if he wins the election.
âI wouldnât do anything that would be overt in terms of Hunter. Itâs a sad situation. But I could have done that with Hillary Clinton,â Trump told Fox Newsâ Bill Melugin. âI could have done it with Hillary and certainly could do it with Hunter or whatever. But I donât want to do it with Hunter either, and Iâll bet you the father probably pardons him.â
When Trump mentioned Hillary, it was not clear why, because she was never formally charged with a federal crime.

Trump was later asked about pardoning Hunter again, and he said, âI wouldnât take it off the books.â
