![AP’s Zeke Miller: “[I]n your first briefing here as press secretary, you committed to speaking to the American people and I quote, “in a transparent way —” KJP: “Yeah.” Miller: “— in a truthful way, and an honest way.” KJP: “Yes.” Miller: “[A]nd then in July, here at this podium —” KJP: “Yeah.” Miller: “— you were asked about the President pardoning his son, and you said, ‘it's a no, it will be a no, it's a no.’” KJP: “Yes, and that — that is exactly right.” Miller: “So [inaudible] of the President’s son and that pardon —” KJP: “Yeah.” Miller: “— it became a yes.” KJP: “Yeah.” Miller: “I'm wondering if you would like to explain — KJP: “Yeah.” Miller: “— to us, the American people, really why the information —” KJP: “Yeah.” Miller: “— that you provided turned out to not be true?? KJP: “And — and I — and I — and I answered this question on Monday. We spent about 30 minutes on this — almost 30 minutes — roughly 30 minutes on this particular issue, and I'm just going to reiterate what I said — uh — in air — on Air Force One, to your colleagues when I did the gaggle, and look, if you look at his statement, it's pretty comprehensive — uh — the statement that he put out on Sunday when he made the decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden. It — uh — it's — it's in his own voice — uh — I think it takes you through his thinking, and he did. He wrestled with this. He wrestled with this — uh — and again, he said in his statement in his own voice that he made that decision this past weekend, and the fact is — uh — when you think about how the president got to this decision, circumstances have changed. They have — and a couple of things, and I said this — uh — I said this — uh — on Monday as well. Republicans said they weren't going to let up — uh — weren't going to stop. Recently announced Trump appointees for law enforcement have said on the campaign that they — they were out for retribution, and I think we should believe their words, right? We should believe what they say. Uh — the sentencing was coming up, as you all know. There was a sentencing coming up and the President said this in his statement that Hunter and his family had been through enough. Enough is enough, and he wrestled with these circumstances — uh — these change in circumstances ultimately — uh — and the combination of that — uh — the present changing his mind and issuing certainly led to the present changing his mind and issuing this pardon, and one thing that I do want to point to, which I think is important, is what Congressman James Clyburn said — uh — when he was interviewed. He said, I am absolutely okay with it. Uh — I don't know how many people urge him to do so, but I did. Uh — he seemed to be reticent about it. This is what Clyburn said — uh — when he spoke to the President two weeks ago — uh — but I emphasize continuing his — his quote — uh — emphasized the fact that we as fathers have obligations to our children, so that was a conversation that the congressman himself had with the President two — two weeks ago, said that the President was reticent when he encouraged the President to do so, and this weekend — uh — he thought about it — uh — and he weighed, he — it was not an easy decision to — to come to — and he put out a comprehensive — uh — comprehensive statement, and I would certainly — um — you know, offer that up to folks out there who are wondering, I would say, please read the president's, uh, President's response to this in full.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1865123213967265865/ext_tw_video_thumb/1865122333070856192/pu/img/HIRahCt0XPxwogP_.jpg)
