Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, is now facing a gun-related charge

20 Comments / Blog / By


Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, is now facing a gun-related charge, marking a historic moment as it’s the first such charge for a child of a U.S. president. This criminal charge is related to Hunter Biden’s alleged misleading of a firearms dealer, which occurred amidst ongoing legal concerns surrounding his father’s potential re-election in 2024. The younger Biden has been indicted with three criminal counts, primarily focused on dishonesty about his drug use at the time of the firearm purchase, a disqualifying factor under the law for firearm ownership. This development is expected to add legal drama to the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign, where Joe Biden, aged 80, is likely to run for re-election against his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump, aged 77, who is himself contending with a series of upcoming criminal trials.

On September 14, 2023, Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, faced criminal charges. These charges were related to his alleged deceit of a gun dealer into selling him a firearm. Such legal issues surrounding Hunter Biden have implications for his father’s potential re-election in 2024, as these charges mark the first-ever indictment of a sitting president’s child. Hunter Biden was charged with three criminal counts that involved providing false information about his drug use, which, had it been known, would have legally disqualified him from owning a firearm.

This development promises to introduce considerable courtroom drama into the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign. As President Joe Biden, age 80, prepares for a likely re-election bid against his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump, aged 77, who is currently facing his own set of upcoming criminal trials. While Hunter Biden’s new charges are unrelated to U.S. tax law violations, there is an ongoing tax investigation. Previously, Hunter Biden had agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and participate in a program to avoid prosecution on the gun-related charge. However, this arrangement fell apart during a July hearing.

With this situation, the legal complications of the younger Biden are becoming a prominent issue in the political landscape. These new charges allege that Hunter Biden misled when he purchased a Colt Cobra handgun in October 2018. This development came shortly after House of Representatives Republicans initiated an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, tied to Hunter Biden’s foreign business activities. The White House condemned this inquiry as unsubstantiated and politically motivated.

Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, criticized the charges, asserting that they were previously deemed unwarranted following a five-year investigation. The attorney also referenced recent federal court rulings that declared the statute under which the charges were filed to be unconstitutional, similar to the constitutional challenge that could potentially be brought against firearms-related charges.

David Weiss, a U.S. Special Counsel, was elevated to this position in August after years of investigating Hunter Biden’s business dealings as the U.S. attorney in Delaware. Interestingly, Weiss was initially nominated by Trump. The younger Biden has been a consistent target of criticism from Trump and his Republican allies, who have accused him of various wrongdoing, particularly regarding Ukraine and China. Hunter Biden’s career has spanned lobbying, law, investment banking, and art, and he has also been candid about his struggles with substance abuse.

While Republican lawmakers have presented testimony suggesting Joe Biden was involved in calls with his son’s business contacts, they have not produced evidence demonstrating the president’s personal gain. This situation raises questions about whether Hunter Biden’s legal complications will influence President Biden’s re-election campaign, and it also generates concerns about potential conflicts of interest related to his position on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma while his father was Vice President.

President Biden has declared that he has not discussed his son’s foreign business dealings and that the Justice Department would maintain independence in any investigation related to his family. Trump and other Republicans have asserted conflicts of interest in relation to Hunter Biden’s position on the board of Burisma while his father was Vice President. Trump’s request for Ukraine to investigate the Bidens led to his impeachment by the Democratic-led House of Representatives. However, he was acquitted by the Senate.

It is notable that Hunter Biden’s indictment marks an unprecedented event, as it appears to be the first instance of a sitting president’s child facing such charges.
