- 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.
