Biden said he's ruled out the possibility of pardoning Hunter if he's convicted of felony gun charges.
During the interview, which covered a wide range of topics, Muir asked the 81-year-old president if he would accept the outcome of Hunter's trial, to which Biden answered, "Yes."
The news anchor then pressed if Biden had ruled out the possibility of pardoning his only living son if convicted, to which Biden also replied, "Yes."

Trump claimed his New York trial was 'rigged' and brought by Biden to keep him off the campaign trail.
Since his conviction, Trump has seemingly tried to rewrite history as he awaits sentencing, in which he faces potential incarceration.
While Trump enthusiastically led "lock her up" chants aimed at his 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton, he now claimed he "thought it was terrible” when his MAGA supporters said it.
"After we won against Hillary, people would say: Lock her up, lock her up," Trump told Sean Hannity in a recent interview. "And I said, wouldn’t it be terrible if I locked up the wife of the president of the United States, former, and locked up the former secretary of state?”
“It’s a terrible thing," the ex-president added.
