The article assumed its answer based on a back and forth between Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and a journalist. The journalist pressures the press secretary into giving a definite answer on if Joe Biden will commute the sentence of his son, Hunter Biden. Pierre was unable to accurately answer the question because she had not spoken to Biden since the verdict. Furthermore, she pointed out that the sentencing had not happened either. Rather than reporting that the White House had no comment on a possible pardon or sentence commute, the news source commits to telling readers that the White House is weighing options.
