Trump, speaking to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin on the sidelines of a campaign rally in Arizona, was asked: “If you were president again, for the sake of unity, would you consider pardoning Hunter Biden?”
“I wouldn't do anything that would end Hunter. It's a sad situation,” Trump replied.
“I bet the father will probably pardon him, we'll see what happens, but he's a bad boy, no question about it,” Trump added.

Hunter Biden was convicted of three firearms felonies in a Delaware trial earlier this year and then pleaded guilty to multiple tax felonies in September.

“Without aggravating factors such as use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a gun as a straw buyer, people almost never end up in court on felony charges based solely on how they filled out a gun form,” he continued. “Those who fell behind on their taxes due to serious addictions, but later paid them back with interest and penalties, usually receive non-criminal settlements.”
Biden also recalled Hunter's battle with substance abuse and asked Americans to “understand why a father and a president would make this decision.”

“There was an effort to break Hunter — who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of relentless attacks and selective persecution,” the president continued. “In trying to break Hunter, they tried to break me – and there's no reason to believe it's going to stop there. That's enough.'
