'It's still no': KJP suggests Biden won't pardon his son in the tax case
Fox News
The White House declined to comment on whether President Biden will move to pardon his son Hunter after he said he would change his plea to federal tax charges Thursday.
Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, made the announcement about the plea Thursday in court, the same day jury selection was slated to begin for an expected trial.
The expected guilty plea will spare the president's son from a public trial over his alleged failure to pay taxes while he spent lavishly on drugs, escorts, luxury hotel stays, clothing and other personal items, according to prosecutors.
The reversal came as a surprise to prosecutors. According to NBC News, it followed a private meeting Thursday between Hunter Biden's attorneys and the presiding judge, Mark Scarsi.
