Special Counsel David Weiss criticized Hunter Biden’s attempt to dismiss the felony gun charges he faces, rejecting claims of politically motivated prosecution.
Weiss stated that the charges were a result of Hunter’s choices and not influenced by political pressure.
He also called Hunter’s motion to dismiss the charges weak and unsupported by facts and law, highlighting that Hunter’s actions, including incriminating statements in a book and evidence of drugs found on the pouch where he kept the gun, have contributed to the case against him.

“The charges in this case are not trumped up or because of former President Trump — they are instead a result of the defendant’s own choices and were brought in spite of, not because of, any outside noise made by politicians,” Weiss wrote.
Weiss noted that Hunter’s motion was “stunningly weak and wholly unsupported by facts and law.”
“After the defendant announced his awareness of a federal investigation of him in 2020, the defendant chose to author and sell a book in 2021 in which he made countless incriminating statements about his years-long drug usage, including during the time period he purchased and possessed the gun,” Weiss wrote.
“In 2023, FBI investigators pulled sealed evidence from the state police vault to take photographs of the defendant’s firearm,” Weiss said.
“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. To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant had kept his gun.”
