PHOENIX — First lady Jill Biden discussed Hunter Biden's trial with NBC News on Saturday during a campaign swing, marking the first time she has commented on his conviction after he was found guilty on three felony gun-related charges. Biden said that the trial marked 'a tough week for my family,' explaining that they 'had to relive ... the tough times.' Still, she said that she drew inspiration from Hunter Biden's conduct in recent days.
After Hunter Biden was convicted, President Joe Biden told reporters that he would neither pardon his son nor commute his sentence. “Joe and I both respect the judicial system, and that’s the bottom line,” Jill Biden said Saturday. Hunter Biden's conviction comes just weeks before his father and former President Donald Trump are set to debate, a critical event for two presumptive nominees who are locked in a tight race, as polling indicates.
