On October 13, 2022, USSS sent an updated letter to Judicial Watch to inform it that USSS had actually never located any records responsive to Plaintiff\u2019s request after conducting a search and, thus, should have sent a no-records response on April 2, 2021 instead,\u201d the filing says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the Complaint was filed, the Parties have conferred about the intended scope of Judicial Watch\u2019s FOIA request and, in response, USSS has run supplemental searches and located over 100 records, totaling over 400 pages, potentially responsive to Judicial Watch\u2019s request under the clarified understanding of that request,\u201d the filing adds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.judicialwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/JW-v-DOJ-Hunter-Biden-Gun-records-02821.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The joint filing<\/a>, which was submitted last month in Washington, D.C., federal court, was published by Judicial Watch on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Judicial Watch initially filed its FOIA request after the Blaze <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/news\/source-hunter-bidens-gun-was-taken-by-hallie-biden-in-2018-thrown-into-a-supermarket-garbage-can-went-missing-and-no-arrests-were-made\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported a source<\/a> who claimed Hallie Biden, the widow of then-presidential nominee Joe Biden\u2019s son Beau, took a handgun owned by Hunter and placed it into a trash can outside of a Delaware supermarket in October 2018. Hallie and Hunter, who was her brother-in-law, were dating at the time. At the behest of Hunter, after he had been informed of what she did, Hallie went to retrieve the firearm, but she found it missing, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/03\/25\/sources-secret-service-inserted-itself-into-case-of-hunter-bidens-gun-477879?nname=playbook&amp;nid=0000014f-1646-d88f-a1cf-5f46b7bd0000&amp;nrid=0000014e-f10e-dd93-ad7f-f90fd0fe0001&amp;nlid=630318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">police report obtained by Politico<\/a>.

Hunter complained how he did not believe he would \u201cever recover from all of this,\u201d noting that Hallie\u2019s actions made it appear he had \u201cthreatened you and your family with a gun.\u201d No arrests were made nor charges filed in connection with the incident, but there remains an air of mystery about the role played by the Secret Service, which was not providing protection to now-President Joe Biden at the time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/03\/25\/sources-secret-service-inserted-itself-into-case-of-hunter-bidens-gun-477879?nname=playbook&amp;nid=0000014f-1646-d88f-a1cf-5f46b7bd0000&amp;nrid=0000014e-f10e-dd93-ad7f-f90fd0fe0001&amp;nlid=630318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sources told Politico<\/a> that Secret Service agents asked the owner of the store where Hunter purchased the gun, seeking paperwork about the sale, but the owner refused under suspicions that they wanted to conceal his ownership of the firearm.

The Secret Service will continue to do so on a rolling, monthly basis as consultations with other Executive Branch entities take place, the filing adds.<\/p>\n<p>Upon publishing the filing to the group\u2019s website, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.judicialwatch.org\/hunter-biden-gun-records\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released a statement<\/a> that said, \u201cThe Secret Service\u2019s changing story on records raises additional questions about its role in the Hunter Biden gun incident.
