Evidence said to have been “literally” found in Hunter Biden's gun bag added to his own alleged “countless incriminating statements,” according to a new document.
Following the first son's federal indictment accusing him of making a “false and fictitious” statement about his drug use and addiction when purchasing a firearm, Biden's legal team had sought to have the charges 'arms were dismissed.
The motion, which claimed that the United States was conducting “selective and vindictive prosecution,” was skillfully rejected on Tuesday, as special counsel David Weiss' team responded with a 52-page opposition detailing how it said FBI investigators found cocaine in the gun bag it contained. the defendant's firearm.
“To be clear, investigators literally found drugs in the bag where the defendant had kept his gun,” the filing said.
Before that, the court document detailed: “In 2023, FBI investigators removed sealed evidence from the state police vault to take photographs of the defendant's firearm. After Upon opening the evidence, FBI investigators observed a white powdery substance in the defendant's brown leather purse that had held the defendant's firearm in October 2018.”

“Based on their training and experience, investigators believed that this substance was likely cocaine and that this evidence would corroborate the messages investigators had obtained showing the defendant purchasing and using drugs in October 2018,” he said. continue file “An FBI chemist later analyzed the residue and determined it to be cocaine.”
The legal team also used Biden's own words against him, referencing his 2021 memoir “Pretty Things,” which they said contained “countless incriminating statements about his years of drug use.”
“The defendant's choice to sell a book containing these admissions not only strengthened the government's case against him, but also increased the overall deterrence value of a prosecution,” Tuesday's filing said .
The special counsel's response was an argument by Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, that his client was the victim of “selective and vindictive prosecution” because he was the son of President Joe Biden.
“Under the facts and the law, if Hunter's last name had not been Biden, the charges in Delaware, and now California, would not have been filed,” Lowell had said, referring to the indictment of nine federal taxes as well as weapon loads.
In response to that argument, Tuesday's filing said, “Contrary to his assertion, he has not established that the special counsel, appointed by President Biden and his attorney general and at his pleasure, is punishing the defendant” for perceived sins of his father for capitulating to a former president because of his tweets”.
“This theory is a fiction designed for a Hollywood script,” Weiss said.
Having also rejected the “breach of separation of powers” claims, the special counsel ultimately concluded, “Defendant's motion is without merit and should be denied without an evidentiary hearing.”
