In a new court filing, evidence of drugs have been "literally found" on the gun pouch belonging to Hunter Biden combined with numerous "incriminating statements" he has made will make his upcoming trial very difficult. The federal indictment Hunter Biden is accused of is making a "false and fictitious" statement regarding his drug use on an official document to purchase a firearm which his legal team has tried to get dismissed without much success. Hunter Biden has claimed in a motion that the United States was conducting "selective and vindictive prosecution" against him but special counsel David Weiss' team showed the court how FBI investigators found cocaine on Hunter Biden's gun pouch.
“To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant had kept his gun,” the 52-page response read by Weiss' team. An early court filing read “In 2023, FBI investigators pulled sealed evidence from the state police vault to take photographs of the defendant’s firearm. After opening the evidence, FBI investigators observed a white powdery substance on the defendant’s brown leather pouch that had held the defendant’s firearm in October 2018. Based on their training and experience, investigators believed that this substance was likely cocaine and that this evidence would corroborate the messages that investigators had obtained which showed the defendant buying and using drugs in October 2018. An FBI chemist subsequently analyzed the residue and determined that it was cocaine.” Using Hunter Biden's own words against him, Weiss' legal team referenced his memoir which contained “countless incriminating statements about his years-long drug usage.”
“The defendant’s choice to sell a book containing these admissions not only made the government’s case against him stronger but also increased a potential prosecution’s general deterrence value,” court documents stated. With the evidence against Hunter Biden and his own words from his memoir, his legal team faces a tough road ahead to try and prove "selective and vindictive prosecution" when drugs are clearly proven to be on the firearm of which you can't purchase if you're an addict.
