Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized the importance of honesty after consistently stating that Biden would not grant a pardon to his son.
An AP reporter informed Jean-Pierre that he had pledged to communicate in a transparent, truthful, and honest manner.
On Friday, Associated Press reporter questioned White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about President Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden, after she had previously stated multiple times that no pardon would be forthcoming.
On Dec. 1, Biden declared that he would pardon his son, exempting Hunter from penalties in two federal cases involving tax and gun charges. The pardon applies to all offenses Hunter may have committed between Jan. 1, 2014 and Dec. 1, 2024.
Jean-Pierre stated that the president pardoning his son would be a "no," "no," and "no."
Miller questioned whether the American people would like to hear why the information he provided turned out to be false.
"Jean-Pierre stated that Biden's full statement was comprehensive, but "the circumstances have changed.""
In a White House statement, President Biden contended that Hunter was "unjustly" targeted by Congress members during his prosecution.
"Hunter's cases cannot be viewed objectively by any reasonable person without concluding that he was targeted solely due to his relationship to me, which is unjust," Biden stated.
Jean-Pierre was reminded of the promises made by Miller when she was first appointed as White House press secretary.
Jean-Pierre was informed by Miller during his first press secretary briefing that he would speak transparently, truthfully, and honestly.
