Hunter Biden Faces Sentencing After Election

At the 2024 Democratic National Convention, discussions among lawmakers indicate that Vice President Kamala Harris is unlikely to pardon Hunter Biden, despite ongoing speculation about potential support from former President Donald Trump should he win the election. Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) humorously redirected questions about a possible pardon to criticize Trump, highlighting the former president's history of pardoning family members and allies, contrasting it with Democratic values. Hunter Biden has openly acknowledged his challenges, and Democratic lawmakers are increasingly vocal about the impeachment inquiries targeting Harris. Representative Goldman, who previously served as counsel during Trump’s impeachment, described the current investigations as "improper and inappropriate." Meanwhile, Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) stated he has not heard any discussions regarding a pardon for Hunter Biden, expressing skepticism about Harris's willingness to grant clemency. While acknowledging Hunter Biden's familial connection to President Joe Biden, some lawmakers, including Thompson, argue that the president should not be held accountable for his son's actions. Thompson suggested that if Harris were to consider pardoning anyone, it should be for more pressing matters rather than Hunter Biden's situation. The Biden family made headlines earlier this week when Hunter was seen with his father backstage at the DNC, later joining the family onstage to support the president after his speech. Hunter Biden refrained from commenting on the ongoing discussions surrounding his legal issues, emphasizing the inappropriateness of the topic.
