He has overcome an addiction, hes one of the brightest, most decent men I know, Biden said during a news conference on the margins of the G7 summit..I am satisfied that Im not going to do anything I said Id abide by the jury decision. I will do that. And I will not pardon him, he added.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had suggested Wednesday that Biden had not ruled out commuting Hunters sentence on the gun charge. The president has sought to draw a distinction between his own acceptance of the jurys verdict and rival Donald Trumps claim that his own legal issues amount to a rigged justice system.  The post I will not pardon him – U.S. President Joe Biden says following conviction of his first son for buying guns while under the influence of drugs appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
