Biden rules out commuting his son Hunter’s sentence

FASANO, Italy (AP) — US President Joe Biden ruled out this Thursday commuting the eventual sentence that his son Hunter will receive after being found guilty of illegal possession of a weapon.

At the end of a news conference in Italy for a Group of Seven meeting, Biden was asked if he would commute any sentence for his son, and he said no.

“I am extremely proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He is one of the brightest, most decent men I know,” Biden said. “I will respect the jury’s decision. “I will do that and I will not pardon him.”
