The U.S. Dept. of Justice says it will seek a grand jury indictment of Hunter Biden, a private citizen and the son of President Joe Biden, on gun charges.

“Special counsel David Weiss intends to seek an indictment against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, relating to gun charges by the end of the month,” CNN reports.

Weiss, a Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney, was appointed as a special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland last month.

He has been investigating Hunter Biden for years.

“Hunter Biden had previously reached a deal involving a gun possession charge that would have allowed him to avoid prosecution if he met certain conditions over a 24 month period. Once his plea deal fell apart in court the future of the gun deal has been in limbo,” according to CNN.

“The Speedy Trial Act requires that the Government obtain the return of an indictment by a grand jury by Friday, September 29, 2023, at the earliest. The Government intends to seek the return of an indictment in this case before that date,” the special counsel’s office said in a court filing, CNN adds.

The Associated Press adds, “The exact charges the president’s son would face were not immediately clear, but appeared related to a gun possession charge in which he was accused of having a firearm while being a drug user.”
