Special counsel David Weiss cites ‘overwhelming’ evidence against Hunter Biden in gun case

Special counsel David Weiss roundly rejected Hunter Biden’s arguments that the gun-related criminal charges against him in Delaware should be dismissed, according to court documents filed Tuesday.

Prosecutors working for Weiss wrote in the filings that they have “overwhelming” evidence to support charges that President Joe Biden‘s son unlawfully purchased and owned a gun in 2018 while he was addicted to drugs.

“The strength of the evidence against him is overwhelming and distinguishable from any other person who was not prosecuted for similar crimes,” they wrote.

The prosecutors revealed for the first time that federal investigators pulled Hunter Biden’s gun from a sealed evidence bag in 2023 and tested what they found to be a powdery white substance on the gun case. They said an FBI chemist determined it was cocaine.

“To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant kept his gun,” the prosecutors wrote.
