Hunter Biden Pushes Back Against Gun Charges, Challenging Case’s Constitutionality and Political Motivation
Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, is pushing back against gun charges filed against him last week. On Monday, Biden’s legal team issued a response to the charges, challenging the case on multiple fronts as unconstitutional and politically motivated.
The charges of illegal possession of a firearm were filed against Biden last week, days after he had been hit with new tax charges. The gun charge is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of one year in jail.
In the response, Biden’s legal team argued that the gun charge should be dismissed because it violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The response also claims that the charge was politically motivated, citing recent political attacks against Biden and his father.
The response states that the charge is “constitutionally infirm and politically motivated,” adding that it is “intended to harass and embarrass Mr. Biden and his family.” The response also contends that the charge is “not supported by the facts or the law.”
Biden’s legal team also argues that the charge is “unconstitutionally vague” because it does not specify the exact location of the gun, making it difficult for Biden to defend himself. They also argue that the charge is “not supported by probable cause” because there is no evidence that the gun was in Biden’s possession.
The response also states that the charge is “unnecessarily punitive,” noting that Biden has a valid concealed carry permit and that he was not aware that the gun was in his possession.
The response concludes by asking the court to dismiss the charge “as a matter of law, as unconstitutional, and as a matter of public policy.”
Biden’s legal team is also challenging the tax charges filed against him last week. Those charges allege that Biden failed to pay taxes on income from his business interests in China. Biden’s legal team has argued that the tax charges are “without merit” and that Biden has “fully complied with all applicable tax laws.”
The legal battle is likely to be long and drawn out, as Biden’s legal team prepares to challenge the charges on multiple fronts. For now, Biden is pushing back against the gun charge, arguing that it is unconstitutional and politically motivated. His legal team is also challenging the tax charges, claiming that they are without merit. It remains to be seen how the case will play out, but Biden is determined to fight the charges every step of the way.
