Hunter Biden could face charges of illegal possession of a weapon while using drugs after a court filing revealed prosecutors want to charge him in late September.

The president’s son had reached a deal that would have allowed him to avoid trial on firearms charges if he had followed the terms of his probation for 24 months.

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

“The Speedy Trials Act requires the government to obtain a return of an indictment from a grand jury by Friday, September 29, 2023, at the earliest,” the filing said. “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 dealings, which are also the focus of House-initiated probes. republicans in congress.

An image on Hunter Biden’s laptop showed the first son, now 53, posing naked with the firearm in question.

He was supposed to be spared jail time when Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware, and his attorneys he signed a plea deal where the younger Biden would plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of failing to pay more than $100,000 in taxes.

Hunter had earned more than $1.5 million in revenue in 2017 and 2018.

As part of the plea agreement, he would avoid prosecution on the weapons charge as long as they met certain conditions for a period of 24 months.

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 or addict of marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic or any other controlled substance.”

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

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

Hunter allegedly lied about 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 or addict of marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic or any other controlled substance.”

But everything fell apart while in the Wilmington, Delaware, courtroom of Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika in late July.

Because of Noreika’s investigation, daylight was discovered between the government and Hunter’s attorneys about their understanding of the plea agreement and whether it provided blanket immunity, essentially whether it allowed the first child to face any future federal charge

Noreika complained that the U.S. attorney’s office and Hunter’s lawyers had expected her to “sign off” on the agreement.

“I’m not going to say I’m going to accept the deal. I’m not going to say I’m going to deny it,” he said.

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

Hunter’s defense attorneys have since argued that even though the broader plea agreement fell apart, the gun deal was “valid and binding” because it was signed.

The deal came under increased 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 won the approval of the state’s two Democratic senators, would be elevated to special advisor

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

‘They appointed him a special counsel so that he does not have to testify before the United States Congress?’ Republican Senator Chuck Grassley told DailyMail.com, reacting to the news. “If that’s your game, then I’d say there are ulterior motives.”

Grassley noted that “you can see that this plea deal that the judge didn’t accept raises a lot of questions about him.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy also suggested that Weiss’ elevation 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 corruption of the Biden family,” the speaker said.
