   Eric Trump gave a glimpse into his father’s priorities if elected on   
   Nov. 5, saying former President Donald Trump wants nothing to do with   
   prosecuting Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton.   
      
   The 40-year-old son of the former president spoke with the Daily Mail on   
   Thursday while in Palm Beach, Florida, and provided the publication with   
   what he says are his father’s priorities.   
      
   "He would want nothing to do with prosecuting Hunter Biden or Hillary   
   Clinton," Eric Trump said. "He doesn’t give a damn. He wants these games   
   to end."   
      
   Eric Trump said his father wants a "safe, prosperous world and a   
   fruitful society."   
      
   "He wants to get back to a country that is actually functional that wins   
   on everything we do. He wants to win on education, safety, economy,   
   military. He doesn't want to go into senseless wars," Eric Trump told   
   the Daily Mail.   
      
   He said his father wants the respect of the entire world.   
      
   He insisted that his father would not seek revenge on his political foes.   
      
   Eric Trump listed multiple efforts that have been made to "destroy" his   
   father, including the "Russia hoax" that was pushed by Hillary Clinton's   
   campaign.   
      
   Hunter Biden, President Biden's son, has faced a litany of legal issues.   
   In September, he pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges.   
      
   He faces a maximum of 17 years in prison for those charges.   
      
   In June, Hunter Biden was found guilty of three felony charges related   
   to a gun purchase he made in 2018. Prosecutors said he lied on a   
   mandatory gun-purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or   
   addicted to drugs.   
      
   He faces up to 25 years in prison in the gun case.   
      
   He is set to be sentenced for both cases in December. President Biden   
   has vowed not to pardon his son.   
      
   While Eric Trump insists his father would not seek revenge against his   
   rivals, Donald Trump himself has not ruled out showing mercy.   
      
   Last week, Donald Trump refused to rule out pardoning Hunter Biden if he   
   wins the election.   
      
   "I wouldn’t do anything that would be overt in terms of Hunter. It’s a   
   sad situation. But I could have done that with Hillary Clinton," Trump   
   told Fox News’ Bill Melugin. "I could have done it with Hillary and   
   certainly could do it with Hunter or whatever. But I don’t want to do it   
   with Hunter either, and I’ll bet you the father probably pardons him."   
      
   When Trump mentioned Hillary, it was not clear why, because she was   
   never formally charged with a federal crime.   
      
   Trump was later asked about pardoning Hunter again, and he said, "I   
   wouldn’t take it off the books."
