'Fix is in': Internet disbelieves Joe Biden's claim of not pardoning son Hunter from gun trial outcome

NORMANDY, FRANCE: President Joe Biden stated on Thursday, June 6 that he would not pardon his son, Hunter Biden, and would accept the outcome of his son's federal gun trial which is ongoing in Delaware.

Biden shared this during an interview on the 80th anniversary of D-Day at Normandy American Cemetery with ABC News. 

President Joe Biden says Hunter Biden has got a 'fair trial'

Biden thinks Hunter had a "fair trial," according to the outlet.

The President said “yes” when asked if he would rule out a pardon and also answered “yes” when asked if he would accept the jury’s verdict. 

Hunter, the sole surviving son of the President, is facing the federal firearm trial on three felony counts associated with his attempt to acquire a gun in 2018 when he was allegedly still dealing with drug addiction. 

It is a historical trial, as no son of a sitting president has faced a criminal trial before. Hunter pleaded not guilty last October after being indicted by special counsel David Weiss.

If found guilty on all charges, Hunter could receive up to 25 years in prison and fines totaling $750,000. The duration of the trial is anticipated to be approximately two weeks.

President Joe Biden voice support for son Hunter Biden

On Monday, the President issued a statement expressing support for his son, stating that he would not comment on the ongoing trial as it kickstarted. 

“Hunter’s resilience in the face of adversity and the strength he has brought to his recovery are inspiring to us,” Biden wrote.

 “A lot of families have loved ones who have overcome addiction and know what we mean," he continued.

"As the President, I don’t and won’t comment on pending federal cases, but as a Dad, I have boundless love for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength," Biden said.

Hunter's trial is underway, occurring shortly after former President Donald Trump was convicted in New York on thirty-four felony counts related to falsifying business records, linked to a hush money payment during the 2016 campaign.

Internet believes Hunter Biden won't be convicted under father Joe Biden's watch

The Internet had mixed reactions to Biden's comment about not pardoning his sole surviving son Hunter.

"]He] already knows Hunter won't be found guilty of anything," wrote one on X (formerly Twitter). "He knows he will walk," wrote another. 

One argued, "The fix is in. A Delaware jury will not convict Hunter Biden. If by some miracle they did, Joe (known liar) Biden will pardon him before he leaves office."

"This means he won’t be convicted, and Joe knows it," wrote one more.

Not all were suspecting what Biden stated, "That's a significant decision. It shows the importance of accountability regardless of one's position."

"Tough love is hard. But sometimes necessary," wrote a user. One more wrote in support saying, "He is a man of HONOR and abides by the LAW!!!!"

However, the White House has previously said Biden would not use his pardon power on son Hunter. 

Presidents have the power to grant pardons in federal cases, but not state cases.

“I’ve been very clear; the president is not going to pardon his son,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in December according to NBC News.
