Federal prosecutors plan to indict Hunter Biden by the end of the month: Bombshell court filing says president’s son likely faces GUN charges that could land him in prison for up to 10 years

• Federal prosecutors plan to indict Hunter Biden on charges by the end of the month
• A new bombshell court filing from Special Counsel David Weiss Wednesday said that the ‘government intends to seek the return of an indictment’ 
• The charges will most likely be related to the first son lying on a form to obtain a firearm  

Hunter Biden could face charges of illegally possessing a gun while he was using drugs following a bombshell court filing revealing prosecutors want to indict him by the end of September. 

The president’s son had reached a deal that would have allowed him to avoid trial for the firearms charges if he abided by parole conditions over 24 months.

But now charges that could land him up to 10 years in prison appear to be back on the table, according to a new filing signed by Special Counsel David Weiss.

‘The Speedy Trial Act requires that the Government obtain the return of an indictment by a grand jury by Friday, September 29, 2023, at the earliest,’ the filing read. ‘The Government intends to seek the return of an indictment in this case before that date.’

Hunter Biden is also under investigation for his foreign business dealings, which are also the focus of probes started by House Republicans in Congress. 

Hunter Biden will likely be indicted on gun charges by the end of the month, a new bombshell court filing from Special Counsel David Weiss revealed 

A picture from Hunter Biden’s laptop showed the now 53-year-old first son posing nude with the firearm in question 

He was supposed to be spared from jailtime when Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware, and his lawyers inked a plea deal where the younger Biden would plead guilty to two misdemeanor crimes of failure to pay more than $100,000 in taxes. 

Hunter had made more than $1.5 million in income in 2017 and 2018.   

As part of the plea deal, he would avoid prosecution for the gun charge as long as he met certain conditions over a 24-month period. 

Hunter had lied on a 2018 application to buy a gun. 

A photo of the form shows he answered ‘no’ when asked if he was an ‘unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance.’ 

Hunter wrote about his extensive drug use during that period of his life in his 2021 memoir, Beautiful Things.  

Republicans in Washington complained that the president’s son had gotten himself a ‘sweetheart deal.’ 

Hunter allegedly lied on a firearm report (above) required for his gun transaction. A photo of the form shows he answered ‘no’ when asked if he was an ‘unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance’

But it all fell apart when he was in the Wilmington, Delaware courtroom of the Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika in late July. 

Due to Noreika’s probing, daylight was discovered between the government and Hunter’s lawyers’ understanding of the plea deal and whether it provided blanket immunity – essentially whether it let the first son off the hook from facing any future federal charges. 

Noreika complained that the U.S. attorney’s office and Hunter’s lawyers had expected her to ‘rubber-stamp’ the deal.  

‘I’m not going to say I’m going to accept the agreement. I’m not going to say I’ll deny it,’ she said. 

The day in court ended with Noreika saying she would need additional briefings from the parties. 

Since then, Hunter’s defense attorneys have argued that despite the broader plea deal falling apart, the gun deal was ‘valid and binding,’ because it was signed.  

The deal was put under further scrutiny when two IRS whistleblowers accused the Justice Department of giving the president’s son special treatment. 

In August, Attorney General Merrick Garland, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, announced that Weiss, a Trump appointee but who got approval from the state’s two Democratic senators, would be elevated to the level of special counsel. 

Promoting Weiss and not bringing in a new special counsel from the outside to manage the Hunter Biden case raised the eyebrows of some Republicans in Congress who had been angered by the plea deal. 

‘Did they appoint him special counsel so he doesn’t have to testify before the Congress of the United States?’ GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley told DailyMail.com, reacting to the news. ‘If that’s your game – then I’d say there’s ulterior motives.’ 

Grassley pointed out ‘you can see this plea agreement that the judge didn’t take raises a lot of questions about him.’  

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy also suggested Weiss being elevated was a way to thwart ongoing House Republican investigations. 

‘This action by Biden’s DOJ cannot be used to obstruct congressional investigations or whitewash the Biden family corruption,’ the speaker said.
