On 9/15/2023, a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “Would the President pardon or commute his son if he’s convicted?

Karine Jean Pierre Won’t Say If Joe Biden Has Talked To Hunter Since Hunter’s Felony Indictment
Reporter: And can you tell us if the President has talked to his son since these charges came down yesterday?
KJP: Yeah. There’s nothing new here. As I’ve — as I’ve been asked that question many times. I’m not going to get into private conversations that the President has with his family. I’m just not going to speak to it.
Reporter: Will those conversations, though, have to change given the heightened scrutiny —
KJP: I’m just —
Reporter: — over these charges?
KJP: I’m just — I’m just not going to get into private conversations that the President has with his family.
Karine Jean-Pierre Tells A Reporter On Biden’s Age: “80’s The New 40, Didn’t You Hear?”
Reporter: You’ve seen all the public polling, people concerned about age. How does the President plan to convince the American people over the next year that 80 is not too old for someone who’s running for re-election?

This is a president, if you think about it — in 2019, he got the same criticism; in 2020, he got the same criticism; in 2022, he got the same criticism. And every time, he beats the naysayers. Every time, he does above and beyond and makes history in doing that — that others are not able to — others are not able to do … 80 million votes — 80 million votes; more than any other — any other ticket in history. In history. And they did that in 2020. And so, you know, I get the — I get the question on age. Certainly, we all do.
Karine Jean-Pierre, Confronted Over Biden’s Age, Says She “Can’t Speak To Every American Out There”
Reporter: And so, given all that — everything you just listed — why do you think so many Americans still say they have concerns about someone in their 80s being President?
KJP: You know, I can’t speak to every American out there and their concerns. What I can speak to is what this President has done, right? I can speak to his experience. I could speak to the wisdom that he has. I can speak to his record.
When it comes to — when it comes to how Americans — what they’re saying about your particular question to me, that’s for them to speak to. I can just stay on — on our message — the platform that we’re trying to push forward, and that is delivering for the American people. We believe that we’re doing that.
You just heard the President talk about Bidenomics and how it’s building a middle class — right? — from the bottom up, middle out, and how — because of the economic policies that we have seen, we’ve seen some historic growth, right? The 3.5 million jobs. Unemployment under 4 percent. All of these things matter. And making sure that inflation is being — is being, you know, moderated, and that’s what we’ve seen. So, all of these things are important. I get — I get the question
