Tue Dec 10 03:20:00 UTC 2024: ## White House Press Secretary to Address Hunter Biden Pardon Backlash
**WASHINGTON, D.C.** – White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will hold a press briefing Friday afternoon, marking her first appearance since President Joe Biden’s controversial decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, on Sunday. The pardon, announced unexpectedly after a week-long presidential trip to Angola, has drawn sharp criticism from both Republicans and Democrats.
President Biden, who previously stated he would not pardon his son, faced repeated questions about the matter during his visit to Angola, which he largely avoided. Ms. Jean-Pierre’s briefing is expected to address the widespread reaction and clarify the administration’s justification for the pardon.
