Joe Biden vows not to pardon son if convicted in gun case: report

President Joe Biden said Thursday he will not pardon his son Hunter if he's convicted of federal gun crimes after prosecutors said he bought a gun while a drug user.

Hunter Biden faces three felony charges stemming from the 2018 gun purchase and possession, and has pleaded not guilty. Questions have been raised over whether Joe Biden would pardon him, particularly after former President Donald Trump pardoned his campaign manager Paul Manafort and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn stemming from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Trump's contacts with Russia.

On Thursday Joe Biden dispelled those notions, telling ABC News anchor David Muir he would accept the outcome of Hunter's trial. The president also replied, "Yes" when Muir asked if he would rule out a pardon for his son.
