According to CCTV News, on November 9 local time, the White House issued a statement saying that at the invitation of President Biden, Trump, who won the 2024 presidential election, will meet with Biden at the White House at 11:00 Eastern Time on the 13th. On the 10th, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that Biden and Trump will discuss the top priorities of US domestic and foreign policy when they meet.▲Hunter Biden (center) pleaded guilty to nine charges in his federal tax case.

On September 5 this year, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to nine charges in his federal tax case. These included failure to declare and pay taxes, tax evasion, and filing false or fraudulent tax returns, with three felonies and six misdemeanors among the nine charges. The indictment alleges that Hunter Biden failed to pay at least $1.4 million in federal taxes in the four years from 2016 to 2019, and evaded tax assessments for the 2018 tax year by filing false returns around February 2020. The U.S. Department of Justice previously stated that if the tax charges are established, Hunter Biden could face up to 17 years in prison. It is reported that sentencing will be announced on December 16. It is reported that Trump and Biden's meeting at the White House is likely to involve Hunter Biden's pardon. Regarding this speculation, Jeffrey Crouch, an expert and professor at the American University pardon process, pointed out that the president can "use the pardon power at any time and can use it multiple times." In 2021, Trump issued a series of pardons to his supporters and close allies in the last few days of his presidency. After Trump won the 2024 election, how he will use the pardon power has attracted attention. Trump said in an interview in October that if he returned to the White House, he would consider pardoning Hunter Biden. He said: "I would not rule out the possibility." At the end of October, shortly after being released from federal prison, Trump's former senior strategic adviser Steve Bannon warned the Biden family that he should be pardoned before Hunter served his sentence, otherwise it could have a "devastating impact" on him. "Drugs are everywhere in prison, and given Hunter's past drug addiction, he may not last more than 48 hours in federal prison," Bannon said.▲ Biden embraces his son Hunter Biden. Both of Hunter Biden's cases are being heard by judges appointed by Trump during his presidency. The verdict dates have been postponed multiple times and are currently expected to be announced on December 12 and December 16, about a month after the 2024 U.S. presidential election. It is reported that Biden can exercise his pardon power at any time before he leaves office on January 20, 2025. In June of this year, just hours after Hunter was convicted in Delaware for a gun case, Biden flew to Wilmington, Delaware, to spend a night with family before heading to Italy for the G7 summit. As he left, he tightly embraced his son on the tarmac, a moment captured on camera. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reiterated at a recent press conference that Joe Biden does not intend to pardon his son Hunter Biden.#BabyMaevinf9c7
