The White House hasn’t ruled out the possibility that President Joe Biden may commute Hunter Biden’s upcoming federal sentence following his conviction on gun-related charges.
Hunter Biden’s sentencing date has not yet been scheduled. In the federal system, it’s common for there to be a two to three-month delay between conviction and sentencing.
“As we all know, the sentencing hasn’t even been scheduled yet,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday.
Joe Biden told ABC News last week that he would NOT pardon his son.
“He was very clear, very upfront, obviously very definitive,” Jean-Pierre said about a potential pardon. Regarding a commutation, “I just don’t have anything beyond that,” she said.
Hunter faces up to 25 years in prison and $750,000 of fines.
As we previously reported in a recent similar gun case, Judge Maryellen Noreika, who is presiding over Hunter Biden’s trial, handed down a one-year sentence. Despite the defense requesting a six-month sentence, but Noreika gave him one year.

QUESTION: So you’re not ruling out that Biden would commute Hunter’s sentence?
