The president’s statement comes as his son faces three felony charges for a firearm purchase in October 2018.
President Joe Biden told ABC News on June 6 that he would not pardon his son Hunter Biden if he is convicted in a federal gun trial, which is in its fourth day as jurors hear testimony from sister-in-law Hallie Biden and others.
David Muir of ABC asked President Biden during an interview at the Normandy American Cemetery on the 80th anniversary of D-Day if the commander-in-chief would accept the outcome of the trial.
Mr. Muir also asked President Biden if he would rule out a pardon for his son if the jury finds him guilty of the charges.
President Biden responded “Yes” to both questions, signaling that he would likely not pardon his son if he faces a guilty verdict.
Hunter Biden is currently facing three felony charges from an Oct. 12, 2018, firearm purchase.
Authorities accuse him of lying to the federally licensed gun store by illegally claiming on his application that he was not a drug user at the time and then unlawfully possessing the gun for 11 days.
