The president’s son is currently standing trial on three felony gun charges that could carry a sentence of up to 25 years in jail if he is found guilty.

Asked if he would rule out issuing a pardon for his son, Biden replied, “yes.”

    It’s sad that this is newsworthy. We’re really going to miss reasonable decisions if Trump wins in the fall.

      Hey now. Trump would definitely rule out pardons for his sons too.

      Edit: For different reasons though, lol.

        For Trump Jr maybe.

        For the others, I don’t think he’d care enough to write the pardon, let alone rule it out.

      Main reason it’s news worthy is that Clinton actually did pardon his brother. Trump would absolutely pardon any family members though.
