Hunter Biden’s attorneys filed motions to dismiss gun charges against him, claiming that a collapsed plea deal is still in effect.
The charges include making false statements in a firearm purchase and possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of a controlled substance.
Hunter Biden’s attorneys argue that the prosecution violated a diversion agreement and claim the charges are politically motivated, blaming former President Donald Trump. (Trending: Tucker Carlson Reveals ‘Secret’ Project He’s Been Working On For Months)
“The Indictment against Mr. Biden must be dismissed because it violates a Diversion Agreement that is in effect between Mr. Biden and the prosecution,” Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, argued in a recent filing.
“In exchange for Mr. Biden giving up various rights — including his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent by agreeing to the Statement of Facts drafted by the prosecution and numerous restrictions on his liberty — the prosecution agreed to provide him immunity for any offense concerning his purchase of a firearm (among other offenses),” the filing said.
“Mr. Biden, one party, struck a deal with the prosecution, the other party, through the Diversion Agreement,” read the filing.
“As part of that Agreement, he sacrificed valuable rights in exchange for the prosecution’s agreement not to prosecute the very sort of Indictment that it has brought here,” it continued.
“The Court should require the prosecution to honor its agreement and dismiss the Indictment,” declared the attorneys.
“Mr. Trump is ground zero for improper motive,” read a second filing.
“During his term in office, President Trump incessantly called in demagogue-like fashion on DOJ, the media, the public, and even foreign governments to target and investigate Mr. Biden,” alleged the attorneys.
Hunter Biden’s attorneys also argue that the special counsel was not properly appointed.
They assert that the charges are unprecedented, unconstitutional, and should be dismissed due to changes in court rulings and partisan attacks.
The list of charges against Hunter Biden “are unprecedented, unconstitutional and violate the agreement the U.S. Attorney made with Mr. Biden and DOJ’s own regulations,” wrote Biden’s attorneys in a third motion.
“The only relevant changes in the months since this U.S. Attorney decided against pursuing these exact charges against Mr. Biden have been court rulings undermining the constitutionality of the law at issue here and relentless partisan attacks by former President Trump and his MAGA allies in Congress,” explained Lowell.
“This is not how an independent investigation is supposed to work, and these charges should be dismissed,” demanded Lowell.
