Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, appears to be in hot water once again. His lawyer, Abbe Lowell, is confident that the felony gun charges against his client will be dismissed, citing political pressure as the reason for the charges. Lowell argued that there are three legs to the defense: an agreement in place that the charge should not have been brought, the statute is likely unconstitutional, and there is a strong defense based on the facts. Hunter Biden has been indicted on three felony counts for making false statements to a gun dealer and possessing a firearm while using drugs. This comes after a failed diversion agreement that would have allowed Biden to avoid jail time in exchange for certain conditions. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, who has been leading a corruption investigation against the Biden family, criticized the charges, stating that they are the least of the crimes Hunter Biden has committed and that a two-tiered justice system exists in the United States.
In an interview with CNN, Lowell alleged that it was “the folks like Chairman Comer and the Republican MAGA crazies” who pressured the U.S. Attorney to bring these charges. He argued that owning an unloaded gun for 11 days should not warrant such serious charges and that the case is politically motivated. Lowell also raised questions about other potential charges that could have been brought against Hunter Biden, such as tax evasion and money laundering. He suggested that the law changed in favor of the defense and challenged the constitutionality of the criminal statutes cited in the indictment.

The indictment accuses Hunter Biden of knowingly making false statements to a gun dealer and possessing a firearm while using drugs. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, and three years of supervised release. Former President Donald Trump weighed in on the matter, stating that there is a two-tiered justice system in the United States and that Hunter Biden had been offered a “deal of the century” with the collapsed diversion agreement. Chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, described the indictment as a minor development in the context of the committee’s ongoing investigation into the Biden family. Democrats worry that this latest scandal involving Hunter Biden could hurt President Biden politically, but hope that voters will focus on the president’s record rather than his son’s troubles.
In conclusion, Hunter Biden’s lawyer is confident that the charges against him will be dismissed due to political pressure. These charges come after a failed diversion agreement and accusations of false statements and drug use. Republicans criticize the charges as being minor in comparison to other potential crimes committed by Hunter Biden, and Democrats worry about the political fallout for President Biden. Only time will tell how this case will unfold and what consequences it could have on the Biden family.
