Evidence said to have been “literally found” on Hunter Biden’s gun pouch compounded his own alleged “countless incriminating statements” according to a new filing.
Following the first son’s federal indictment that charged him with making a “false and fictitious” statement about his use and addiction to drugs when purchasing a firearm, Biden’s legal team had attempted to get the weapons charges dismissed.
The motion that claimed the United States was conducting “selective and vindictive prosecution” was deftly rebutted Tuesday as special counsel David Weiss’ team responded with a 52-page opposition that detailed how FBI investigators were said to have found cocaine on the gun pouch that housed the defendant’s firearm.
“To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant had kept his gun,” the filing read.
Leading up to that, the court document detailed, “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,” the filing continued. “An FBI chemist subsequently analyzed the residue and determined that it was cocaine.”
The legal team further used Biden’s own words against him as they referenced his 2021 memoir “Beautiful Things” which they said 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,” Tuesday’s filing stated.
Prompting the response from the special counsel was an argument from Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell that his client was a victim of “selective and vindictive prosecution” as a result of him being the son of President Joe Biden.
“Based on the facts and laws, if Hunter’s last name was anything other than Biden, the charges in Delaware, and now California, would not have been brought,” Lowell had claimed referencing the indictment on nine federal tax charges as well as the gun charges.
In response to that argument, Tuesday’s filing stated, “Contrary to his assertion, he has not established that the Special Counsel, appointed by and serving at the pleasure of President Biden and his Attorney General, is punishing the defendant ‘for the perceived sins of his father’ in order to capitulate to a former President because of his tweets.”
“This theory is a fiction designed for a Hollywood script,” slammed Weiss.
Having also knocked down claims of a “breach of separation of powers,” the special counsel ultimately concluded, “The defendant’s motion is meritless and should be denied without any evidentiary hearing.”
