Weeks after a sweetheart plea deal offered by Joe Biden’s Department of Justice to his son, Hunter Biden, fell apart, the younger Biden has pleaded not guilty to three gun charges.
They are making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer and possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
Fox News reported Hunter Biden, whose scandals just keep on giving to Republicans, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday in U.S. District Court for Delaware.
He was charged by Special Counsel David Weiss, who earlier as U.S. attorney had offered the sweetheart deal to Hunter Biden, after Weiss was given special counsel status by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The special deal that was proposed would have had Hunter Biden plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and participate in a gun charge diversion program. In exchange, prosecutors in Joe Biden administration would have dropped a long list of tax and gun felonies that could have subjected Hunter to years in prison.
