HUNTER BIDEN – THE SITTING PRESIDENT’S SON – HAS BEEN INDICTED ON FEDERAL GUN CHARGES BY A GRAND JURY IN DELAWARE.
SPECIAL COUNSEL DAVID WEISS – WHO WAS APPOINTED TO THE POSITION BY ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND – FILED THE CHARGES EARLIER TODAY.
HUNTER BIDEN IS CHARGED WITH THREE COUNTS…
TWO OF THE COUNTS ACCUSE HUNTER BIDEN OF LYING ON FEDERAL FORMS WHEN PURCHASING A REVOLVER IN OCTOBER 2018 – FALSELY STATING THAT HE WAS “NOT A USER OF OR ADDICTED TO ANY ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES – “WHEN IN FACT, AS HE KNEW, THAT STATEMENT WAS FALSE AND FICTITIOUS,” PROSECUTORS CLAIM.
AND ONE COUNT ALLEGES HUNTER BIDEN POSSESSED A GUN WHILE HE WAS ADDICTED TO CRACK COCAINE IN OCTOBER OF 2018.
IT’S A FEDERAL CRIME TO LIE ON AN A-T-F FORM AND POSSESS A FIREARM IF YOU’RE AN ILLEGAL DRUG USER.
BACK IN JULY – HUNTER BIDEN WAS PLANNING ON PLEADING “GUILTY” TO TWO TAX-RELATED CHARGES AND LIKELY AVOID JAIL TIME – HOWEVER – THAT PLEA DEAL IMPLODED WHEN THE JUDGE RAISED THE ISSUE OF IMMUNITY.
REPUBLICANS CALLED THE FAILED PLEA deal A “SWEETHEART DEAL” AS IT WOULD’VE ALLOWED HUNTER BIDEN TO ATTEND A DIVERSION PROGRAM INSTEAD OF PLEADING “GUILTY” TO HAVING ILLEGALLY POSSESS A FIREARM.
NOW – HUNTER BIDEN COULD BE ON TRIAL – AS HIS FATHER – PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN – SEEKS RE-ELECTION IN 2024.
EARLIER THIS WEEK – HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY ANNOUNCED AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY INTO PRESIDENT BIDEN – RELATING TO HIS SON’S BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH CHINA AND UKRAINE.
WEISS SAYS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS STILL LOOKING INTO HUNTER BIDEN’S ALLEGED TAX CRIMES AND CHARGES COULD BE COMING.
BIDEN HAS BEEN SUMMONED TO APPEAR IN COURT – IT’S UNCLEAR WHERE THE INITIAL APPEARANCE WILL HAPPEN
IF CONVICTED ON ALL COUNTS – HUNTER BIDEN COULD BE IMPRISONED FOR UP TO 25 YEARS IN PRISON AND FINED UP TO $750-THOUSAND DOLLARS.
