He might...but there's no pardon from hell unless someone genuinely repents!
Watergate Journalist Bob Woodward Predicts Biden Will Pardon Son Hunter Before Leaving Office

Bob Woodward, the famous Watergate journalist who now writes for the Washington Post, has predicted that President Joe Biden will pardon his son Hunter before leaving office in January.
Woodward says he expects Biden to issue the pardon despite saying repeatedly that he would not do so.
Hunter Biden will be sentenced next month on drug and gun charges and faces tax charges in an upcoming trial.
Woodward said that research for his forthcoming book “War” revealed that the president’s mind is frequently on Hunter Biden’s future.
President Biden has reportedly talked about a pardon with close friends.
“He worries about, where is this going to go?” Woodward told “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert.
“He has said he would not pardon him.
“There are a couple of trials coming up.
“Quite frankly, I know enough about Biden I don’t believe that.
“I think he will pardon his son.”
Biden also fears his son will relapse into drug use if he is sent to prison, or just from the stress of multiple trials.
Presidents can pardon or commute the federal prison sentence of anyone they want to, without restriction.
It has even been suggested that President Donald Trump could pardon himself from federal crimes if wins re-election today.
While Bill Clinton was president, he pardoned his brother Roger Clinton for a 1985 drug possession charge for which Roger had served one year in jail.
One drawback of a pardon is that Biden may harm his party’s reputation and hurt his chances in future elections.
However, it would be very unlikely that Biden would continue his career when he leaves office.
It’s worth noting that Biden pledged not to pardon his son while he was still running for re-election.
However, the negative impact of the pardon among voters would no longer be an issue for the lame-duck president.
Biden likely agreed not to help his son before the election, but he was ousted from his re-election bid by top Democrats.
While issuing a pardon could anger some Democrats, it would likely be of no concern to Biden.
Yet, Biden may not have to let his son off the hook.
President Donald Trump recently said he could possibly pardon Hunter Biden.
Trump noted that the first son had been a “bad boy.”
Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris was also asked if she would pardon Hunter Biden.
Unsurprisingly, she dodged the question.
