WASHINGTON — First son Hunter Biden was indicted Thursday in Delaware by
special counsel David Weiss on three counts related to lying about being
addicted to crack cocaine when he bought a gun nearly five years ago —
two days after House Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry into
President Biden’s role in Hunter’s foreign business dealings.
The charges carry a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and Hunter,
now 53, could face additional criminal cases in DC and Los Angeles for
tax fraud and illegal foreign lobbying, among other potential counts.
The first son is accused of lying about his drug use on a gun purchase
form in 2018, when he bought a Colt Cobra revolver during a period when
he admitted in his 2021 memoir “Beautiful Things” that he was abusing
narcotics.
“Hunter Biden knowingly made a false written statement on the Form 4473,
intended and likely to deceive the dealer,” Weiss’ office said, and then
“during an 11-day period between Oct. 12 and Oct. 23, 2018, Hunter Biden
possessed a firearm while knowing he was an unlawful user of or addicted
to [drugs], in violation of federal law.” The gun was disposed of in a
trash can behind a food store on the latter date by first
daughter-in-law Hallie Biden, who was married to Hunter’s brother, Beau,
until his death in 2015 and then dated Hunter.
Charges against Hunter Biden
COUNT 1: False Statement in Purchase of a Firearm
Faces a maximum of 10 years’ imprisonment; a fine of $250,000; 3 years
of supervised release; a special assessment of $100.
COUNT 2: False Statement Related to Information Required to be Kept by
Federal Firearms Licensed Dealer
Faces a maximum of 5 years’ imprisonment; a fine of $250,000; 3 years of
supervised release; a special assessment of $100.
COURT 3: Possession of a Firearm by a Person who is an Unlawful User of
or Addicted to a Controlled Substance
Faces a maximum of 10 years’ imprisonment; a fine of $250,000; 3 years
of supervised release; a special assessment of $100.
“That’s one of about a dozen crimes that Hunter Biden’s committed, and
ironically that’s the one crime that he committed that you cannot tie
Joe Biden into,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.)
told reporters outside the Capitol.
“So, we’ll see what happens with the other 11 or so crimes that the
president’s son’s committed.”
Comer added that the case would “absolutely not” cause House Republicans
to change course on their impeachment inquiry and urged Weiss to bring
indictments “for money laundering, violation of the Foreign Agents
Registration Act [FARA], tax evasion, the list goes on and on.”
Hunter Biden allegedly lied about the fact that he was addicted to crack
cocaine when he bought a gun in 2018. House Oversight Committee chairman
James Comer (R-Ky.), who is spearheading the impeachment inquiry into
the president, told reporters outside the Capitol that the gun charges
needed to be followed by other indictments.
“That’s one of about a dozen crimes that Hunter Biden’s committed, and
ironically that’s the one crime that he committed that you cannot tie
Joe Biden into,” Comer said.
“So we’ll see what happens with the other 11 or so crimes that the
president’s son’s committed.”
Comer said the case would “absolutely not” change the course of
impeachment proceedings and urged Weiss to now bring indictments “for
money laundering, violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, tax
evasion, the list goes on and on.”
Another Republican, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, told CNN that “getting
Hunter on the gun charge is like getting Jeffery Dahmer on littering.”
Hunter walked away in July from a plea deal that would have granted him
two years of probation for failing to pay more than $2 million in taxes
on foreign income from countries such as China and Ukraine. As part of
that deal, Hunter would have admitted to the gun offense, but it would
have been expunged after the completion of probation.
The inquiry announced by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will
focus on President Biden’s involvement in his family’s overseas business
dealings, which centered on Hunter and first brother James Biden.

The impeachment inquiry announced by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
(R-Calif.) is focused on President Biden’s alleged involvement in Hunter
and first brother James Biden’s overseas ventures.
Comer said Tuesday that the panel would subpoena the bank records of
Hunter and James Biden, including to determine whether any foreign funds
flowed to the president.
White House spokesman Ian Sams declined to comment on the indictment,
saying, “We would refer you to Hunter’s personal representatives or to
the Justice Department.”
Hunter’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said in a CNN interview that if the case
were to reach trial he is prepared to dispute the facts of the case.
“At the time that he purchased his gun, I don’t think there is evidence
that that’s when he was suffering,” Lowell said, referring to Hunter’s
crack-cocaine addiction.
The attorney also said he would argue in court that the diversion
agreement remains in effect for the gun offenses, and said the
indictment “violates the agreement the government made with Hunter
Biden,” which he called “a standalone agreement.”
“The constitutionality of these charges is very much in doubt,” Lowell
claimed, calling them “unique and unjustified.”
“Hunter owned an unloaded gun for 11 days. There has never been a charge
like this that has been brought in the United States,” he said.
Hunter Biden abandoned the earlier plea deal after his legal team
demanded that federal prosecutors affirm at a July 26 court hearing that
he had blanket immunity for all past conduct, including alleged
violations of FARA that weren’t charged in the initial deal.
Cornell University law professor Randy Zelin, who specializes in white
collar criminal defense, told The Post he expects Biden’s lawyers to
file a “Santebello motion” arguing that the plea agreement should be
enforced.
“From all indicators, Hunter Biden’s lawyers have been honoring their
end of the agreement. He’s been complying with the terms of the
diversion agreement, he’s been behaving himself. Their position, I
believe, is that they will file a motion to enforce that prior plea
agreement,” he said.
Critics of Weiss’ initial handling of the gun and tax charges decried
the earlier deal as a sign of preferential treatment.
Rapper Kodak Black’s lawyer noted at the time that his client was
sentenced in 2019 to 46 months in federal prison after pleading guilty
to providing an incorrect Social Security number on a federal gun
purchase form in order to buy three guns from a Miami-area shop.
“2 tiers of justice?” the rapper’s attorney Bradford Cohen wrote. “Kodak
was charged for the same crime. Got over 3 years. Mr. Biden will not
serve a day. Feels right?”
Weiss was nominated as US attorney by former President Donald Trump in
2017. He was recommended to the job by Delaware’s two Democratic
senators, who are close Biden allies, and previously was acting US
attorney under President Barack Obama.
The New York Times reported last month that Weiss said earlier this year
that he did not want to bring any charges against Hunter Biden after he
allegedly was blocked from bringing tax charges by Biden-appointed US
attorneys in the nation’s capital and southern California.
Weiss reportedly decided he would charge Hunter Biden only after IRS
agent Gary Shapley in April alleged a coverup in the case, resulting in
the announcement of the since-aborted probation-only plea deal in June.
Shapley and another whistleblower, IRS case agent Joseph Ziegler, said
prosecutors in Weiss’ office blocked them from investigating President
Biden’s alleged role in his son’s foreign ventures, despite
communications that directly implicated him, such as a threatening July
30, 2017, WhatsApp message in which Hunter Biden wrote to a Chinese
government-linked business associate that he was “sitting here with my
father” and warned of consequences if a deal was aborted, immediately
preceding the flow of $5.1 million to Biden-linked accounts.
Shapley and Ziegler say prosecutors tipped off Hunter Biden to a planned
search of a storage unit and an interview approach and were denied full
access to Hunter Biden laptop records and weren’t told about an FBI
informant file outlining a $10 million Ukraine bribe allegation, which
was referred in 2020 to Weiss’ office.
Attorney General Merrick Garland, who testified twice to Congress that
Weiss had the power to bring charges against Hunter Biden outside of
Delaware, granted Weiss special counsel powers on Aug. 11 so that he
could file tax charges in other jurisdictions.
Never Surrender
14 September, 2023
The wholly corrupt federal prosecutor Weiss is acting, in effect, as
Hunter's private defense counsel. But everyone is waiting for the
conspiracy charge against Hunter Biden that will allow prosecutors to
reassert the tax non-payment charges that prosecutors knowingly allowed
to time expire. This indictment is simply another failing attempt at
smoke, mirrors, and distraction, because everyone is on to the
prosecutor and the Bidens now.
