WASHINGTON — President Biden said Thursday he would not pardon his son Hunter Biden if he’s convicted at a pair of federal criminal trials.

The 81-year-old president told ABC News anchor David Muir in an interview that he would accept the outcome of Hunter’s ongoing trial on gun charges in Delaware and that he would rule out using his unbridled clemency powers to set aside a conviction. 

“Yes,” Biden responded to both prompts from Muir, according to excerpts published ahead of the full interview airing Thursday evening. 

Biden’s spokespeople previously have said he would rule out pardoning his 54-year-old son, but Thursday marked the first time Biden himself made an on-the-record commitment.

“No,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre replied last July 27 to the same inquiry about a possible pardon. 

Presidents typically reserve their most controversial pardons for their final days in office, meaning Biden still has time to change his mind.

Donald Trump’s White House aides, for example, insisted that first son-in-law Jared Kushner’s father, Charles, would not be pardoned by the then-president — before he ultimately was included on the list of clemencies.

Hunter walked away from a probation-only plea deal last July over demands for broad immunity for past conduct, including alleged violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which could implicate his father.

In addition to the Delaware gun case, Hunter Biden is scheduled to stand trial in Los Angeles beginning Sept. 5 for allegedly failing to pay more than $1.4 million in federal taxes between 2016 and 2019 on income received from foreign relationships in which he routinely involved his dad.

Evidence including photos, emails and witness statements indicate that Joe Biden interacted with his son and brother James Biden’s associates from two Chinese government-linked business ventures, as well as his family’s patrons from Kazakhstan, Mexico, Russia and Ukraine.
