That didn't take long: White House floats commutation of Hunter Biden sentence after saying it wouldn't pardon him or commute it

 The White House isn’t ruling out a potential commutation for Hunter Biden after his conviction

The position from the White House is a shift from what it said in September, when Jean-Pierre was asked whether the president would “pardon or commute his son if he’s convicted.” The press secretary responded at the time that “I’ve answered this question before. It was asked of me not too long ago, a couple of weeks ago. And I was very clear, and I said no.”
