Hunter Biden ANNOUNCED for lying about drug use when he bought a gun
- He was indicted Thursday by Special Prosecutor David Weiss
- Federal prosecutors plan to charge Hunter Biden by the end of the month
President Biden’s son Hunter was charged with a federal gun crime Thursday by special counsel David Weiss.
According to the indictment, Hunter lied about his drug use when he bought a gun in 2018.
The grand jury handed Hunter multiple felony charges, including two counts of making false statements on his gun forms, and one count of possessing a firearm while addicted to illegal drugs.
The First Son purchased the .38 caliber pistol in Delaware, a state where every buyer must answer a series of questions before he can get his hands on a gun.
One of the 2018 applications asks whether the applicant uses drugs or is addicted to them. The box is clearly marked ‘no’.
If convicted of the charges, the maximum prison sentence is ten years. He could also be hit with a fine of up to $250,000 and three years’ probation.

Hunter allegedly lied about a firearms report (above) that was required for his gun transaction. A photo of the form shows him answering “no” when asked if he was an “unlawful user of or addicted to marijuana or any other depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug or other controlled substance.”
Earlier this summer, the president’s son reached a deal that would have allowed him to avoid a trial on the firearms charge if he had complied with parole conditions for 24 months.
However, things fell apart spectacularly in court in July, opening him up to new charges.
Hunter Biden is also under investigation for his foreign business dealings, which are also the subject of investigations launched by Republicans in the House of Representatives.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry against President Biden earlier this week over his alleged connections to Hunter’s multi-million dollar foreign “influence peddling” program.
