Jean-Pierre Rules out Pardon for Hunter Biden

Jean-Pierre: “Bidenomics is growing the economy from the middle out and bottom up, not the top down. Unemployment remains at 4%, inflation has fallen by two thirds, wages are higher than before the pandemic and businesses have invested more than half a trillion dollars in clean energy and manufacturing. In short, the president’s economic plan is indeed working.”

Jean-Pierre: “I mean, I’m not an expert in climate change, I can’t speak to what — what it’s going to look like, but we know, we know climate change exists, right? We know that there is a real problem here.”

Jean-Pierre: “I’ve said this before, this is a personal matter. This is a — Hunter Biden, as you know, is a private citizen, and this was done in an independent way. This investigation is being led by a Trump-appointed prosecutor.”
Reporter: “Let me go right to the first question of the briefing. I know you said not a lot has changed since yesterday and that’s a personal matter, but from a presidential perspective, is there any possibility that the president would end up pardoning his son?”
Jean-Pierre: “No.”
Reporter: “Well, is there — “
Jean-Pierre: “I just said no. I just answered. Go ahead. Go ahead.”

REPORTER: "As far as questions about the president's health, I think that would be all cleared up if we could just ask him to step out of that door into this room for 45 minutes. So I ask you again to pass that along to him, to ask him to come out and see us."

"Thank you for the request. The president, as you know, you know, again, I appreciate the question and I get it. The president understands. You guys want to ask him questions and have the opportunity for him to answer your questions," she said. "I do want to say, this is a president that has done more in the first two years, two and a half years, when it comes to the economy, really giving the American people a little bit of breathing room than any other president. All you gotta do is look at the data. All you gotta do is look at where we are in this country."

"There was a conversation for almost two years about a recession, and now you have economist saying that because of the work this president has done these past two years, we're not headed in that way. So you know, this is a president that wakes up every morning thinking about the American people and doing that job and doing the work and you see that. You see that, again, in historic pieces of legislation, whether it is the bi-partisan infrastructure legislation. That was a joke- infrastructure week was a joke. And now we're talking about infrastructure decade."
