Hunter Biden Seeks New Gun Trial After Guilty Verdict
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 87 days ago
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has requested a new gun trial after a jury returned a guilty verdict on all three felony charges related to his purchase of a firearm in 2018.
The charges against Hunter Biden include making a false statement in the purchase of a gun, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and possession of a gun by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
The request for a new trial comes after Hunter's lawyers filed a motion for a new trial last week, but withdrew it without explanation. The motion was re-submitted on Monday, arguing that the federal court in Delaware lacked jurisdiction to go to trial earlier this month.
The charges against Hunter Biden stem from his purchase of a firearm in 2018, while he was using drugs. Prosecutors proved that Hunter Biden was smoking crack when he purchased the firearm, and text messages sent to Hallie Biden, Hunter's then-lover and deceased brother's widow, showed that he set up a drug deal with "Mookie" one day after illegally purchasing the gun.
Hunter Biden was indicted on federal gun charges in September, and was found guilty on June 11 after three hours of deliberations. The guilty verdict was met with criticism from some who argue that Hunter Biden received preferential treatment due to his father's position as President.
This is not the first time that Hunter Biden has faced legal troubles. In 2020, it was reported that Hunter Biden was under investigation by the Justice Department for his business dealings in Ukraine and China. The investigation was later closed without any charges being filed.
The request for a new trial is likely to be met with skepticism from some who argue that Hunter Biden has already been given preferential treatment. However, it remains to be seen whether the motion will be granted and a new trial will be ordered.
In the meantime, the guilty verdict against Hunter Biden is a reminder of the importance of following the law and being honest when purchasing a firearm. It is also a reminder that no one is above the law, regardless of their political connections.
