Special counsel David Weiss presents ‘compelling’ evidence against Hunter Biden in firearm case
Special Counsel Rejects Hunter Biden’s Arguments to Dismiss Gun Charges
Special counsel David Weiss has firmly rejected Hunter Biden’s plea to dismiss the criminal charges against him in Delaware, according to court documents filed on Tuesday.
Prosecutors working for Weiss have stated in the filings that they possess “overwhelming” evidence supporting the allegations that President Joe Biden’s son illegally purchased and possessed a firearm in 2018 while struggling with drug addiction.
“The evidence against him is incredibly strong and sets him apart from others who have not faced prosecution for similar crimes,” the prosecutors wrote.
In a surprising revelation, the prosecutors disclosed that federal investigators discovered Hunter Biden’s gun in a sealed evidence bag in 2023 and found a powdery white substance on the gun case, which was later confirmed to be cocaine by an FBI chemist.
“Let me be clear, drugs were literally found on the pouch where the defendant stored his gun,” the prosecutors emphasized.
They also highlighted instances in which Hunter Biden openly admitted to excessive and illicit drug use in his memoir published in 2018.
Weiss’s team revealed that federal investigators gained access to Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud account in 2019 and later to his laptop through a search warrant.
The data obtained from these devices, according to the prosecutors, contained “photos of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia,” messages related to drug dealing, and an admission of crack cocaine use just two days after the alleged illegal gun purchase, which is the basis for the charges he currently faces.
On Tuesday, prosecutors presented these and other details in four separate court filings following Hunter Biden’s defense team’s argument to dismiss the case on four different grounds.
Defense Arguments
- The defense attorneys claimed that the case was “selective and vindictive” and accused Weiss of violating the separation of powers by bringing charges against their client. They pointed out that Weiss’s office initially indicated in emails last spring that no charges would be filed against Hunter Biden, suggesting that Weiss succumbed to pressure from congressional Republicans conducting their own investigation into the President’s son.
- The defense also argued that Weiss was an illegitimate special counsel.
- They contended that the gun charges did not meet the Second Amendment standards established by the Supreme Court in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen.
- Furthermore, the defense claimed that part of a defunct plea agreement, which was almost reached in the summer of 2023, was still valid.
Weiss dismissed all four arguments in his filings on Tuesday, deeming them “without merit.”
Hunter Biden has until January 30th to respond to Weiss’s filings.

What are the potential political implications of the outcome of this case, considering Hunter Biden’s familial connection to the President of the United States
E special counsel’s rejection of Hunter Biden’s arguments to dismiss the gun charges is a significant development in the ongoing legal case. Despite his plea, it seems that the evidence against him is too compelling for the charges to be dismissed.
According to court documents filed on Tuesday, Special Counsel David Weiss firmly rejected Hunter Biden’s request to dismiss the criminal charges against him. Weiss’s team of prosecutors claims to possess ”overwhelming” evidence that supports the allegations of the illegal purchase and possession of a firearm by President Joe Biden’s son.
In their filings, the prosecutors made a bold statement, declaring that the evidence against Hunter Biden is exceptionally strong. They argue that his case is distinct from others who have not faced prosecution for similar crimes. This assertion suggests that Hunter Biden’s status as a public figure or his familial connections will not shield him from facing the consequences of his actions.
However, one shocking twist emerged from the filings. The prosecutors revealed that federal investigators discovered Hunter Biden’s gun in a sealed evidence bag in 2023. Upon examination, a powdery white substance was found on the gun case. The substance was later confirmed to be cocaine by an FBI chemist. This revelation adds another layer of severity to the charges against him.
The prosecutors did not mince words in emphasizing the significance of this discovery. They stressed that drugs were literally found on the pouch where Hunter Biden stored his gun. This revelation raises questions about his involvement in illicit drug use and further complicates his defense.
With this recent development, it is likely that the case against Hunter Biden will proceed, and he will be compelled to defend himself in a court of law. The evidence presented by the prosecution seems formidable, and the discovery of drugs in connection with the firearm adds significant weight to their case.
As the legal process moves forward, it remains to be seen how Hunter Biden and his legal team will respond. The rejection of his plea to dismiss the charges indicates that the prosecution is confident in its evidence and is determined to hold him accountable for his actions. The outcome of this case will not only impact Hunter Biden personally but also has potential political implications, given his familial connection to the President of the United States.
