Karine Jean-Pierre Denies She and Biden Were Lying When They Repeatedly Told the American People There Would Be No Pardon for Hunter

EXCERPT:

REPORTER: "You have said repeatedly, yourself, since the election, and the president has said for months, no pardon was coming.

JEAN-PIERRE: "First of all, one of the things that the president always believes is to be truthful to the American people. That is something that he always truly believes. And if you see the end of his -- I -- I assume that you've read his statement and you look at the end of that statement, and he actually says that in the first line in the last paragraph, and -- and respects the thinking and how the American people will actually see this and his decision-making, and I would encourage everyone to read it full, the president's statement. I think he lays out his thought process. He lays out how he came to this decision. He came to this decision this weekend. So let's be very clear about that.”
