CNN’s Tapper: Biden Has Been Discussing Pardoning Hunter Since June

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “And we start today in our politics lead with the stunning reversal from something President Biden and the White House have for months and months and months said he would emphatically not do, pardon his adult son Hunter, who was convicted of 12 federal crimes, six of them felonies, including tax evasion and unlawful gun possession. Sources told CNN today that President Biden did not go through the Office of the Pardon Attorney at the Justice Department, as is standard. In fact, President Biden has been discussing pardoning his son with top aides since Hunter’s conviction in June, according to NBC News’s reporting. While at the same time the president was telling the rest of us this.”
