Federal prosecutors in January urged the judge in charge to reject Hunter Biden’s attempts to dismiss the gun charges brought against him.
This came after prosecutors revealed that the brown leather gun case used by Hunter Biden tested positive for cocaine residue.
This case against Hunter dates back to 2018, when an investigation into Hunter Biden led to the discovery of the questionable substance on his gun case. The analysis, carried out by an FBI chemist, confirmed that the residue found was indeed cocaine. This alarming discovery was part of a larger court document that was intended to strengthen the case against Hunter Biden.
Last year, Hunter Biden was indicted on federal firearms charges. He was indicted in a Delaware court on three counts related to possession of a firearm while using drugs.
These charges include a charge of misrepresentation in the purchase of a firearm, a charge of false representation relating to information to be retained by a federally licensed firearms dealer, and a charge of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
Two of these charges carry a maximum prison sentence of 10 years, while the third charge carries a maximum of five years.
Hunter Biden, a member of the favored class in America today, pleaded not guilty to three firearms charges at his arraignment.
Special counsel David Weiss filed these charges after the Justice Department’s plea deal, which was initially supposed to be part of the resolution of Hunter Biden’s case, fell apart last August.
The Gateway Pundit was first to report in October 2020 that Hallie Biden, Hunter’s then-lover and his late brother’s widow, had thrown the gun in the trash. Hunter admitted this in an online conversation with his family when they accused him of inappropriate conduct in front of a child.
Hunter Biden is free today. He comes from a family of Democrats.
On Friday, a Delaware judge refused to dismiss Hunter Biden’s gun charges. This must have come as a surprise to the family.
The AP reported:
A federal judge in Delaware refused Friday to dismiss a federal weapons case against Hunter Biden, rejecting the president’s son’s claim that he is being prosecuted for political purposes and other arguments.
U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika’s ruling raises the possibility that Biden could go to trial on the case as early as June, in the midst of his father’s reelection campaign. His efforts to scupper the other criminal case he faces in California involving tax charges also failed.
Norieka has denied several defense requests to dismiss the case accusing Biden of lying about his drug use in October 2018 on a gun purchase form that he had kept for about 11 days.
His lawyers had argued that the case was politically motivated and said that an immunity provision from an original plea deal that fell apart still stands. They had also objected to the appointment of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel to lead the prosecution.
Noreika, appointed president by former President Donald Trump, has not yet ruled on challenging the constitutionality of the gun charges.
