An unearthed video of Hunter Biden smiling and showing a confident demeanor while being pressed about a possible pardon has raised questions about when his father made the decision to pardon him. Despite President Biden's repeated statements that he would not pardon his son and would not interfere with the criminal justice process, Hunter Biden maintained a confident attitude even when facing a maximum sentence of 17 years in federal prison.
The 30-second video, obtained recently, shows Hunter smiling wryly and walking away after being questioned about expecting a pardon while leaving a restaurant in Malibu, California, on July 31, 2024. This incident occurred after Hunter Biden was convicted of three felony charges related to the illegal purchase of a firearm and shortly before he pleaded guilty to tax evasion.
