General NewsHunter BidenIndictmentsLegal proceedingsU.S. News Judge Dismisses Previous Gun Charge against Hunter Biden Following New Indictment by Joshua Brown October 11, 2023 written by Joshua Brown October 11, 2023 5 comments Bookmark 33 In the ongoing case involving Hunter Biden, a judge on Wednesday approved the dismissal of a gun possession charge that had previously been included in a plea agreement that later fell apart. U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika sanctioned the dismissal after the prosecution’s request. The now-dismissed gun possession charge has been succeeded by an unrelated indictment of three counts that was instituted subsequent to the breakdown of the initial agreement in July. Hunter Biden, the president’s son, is accused of contravening regulations that prohibit drug users from possessing firearms. This pertains to his purchase and retention of a revolver for an approximate duration of 11 days in 2018, during which he has publicly admitted to battling addiction. Earlier in the month, as the case seemed to be progressing towards a trial and with the 2024 elections on the horizon, Biden entered a plea of not guilty. His defense team has asserted that he did not commit any legal violation and are gearing up to seek the dismissal of the fresh indictment. Previously, Hunter Biden, aged 53, was anticipated to admit guilt to minor tax charges as part of a deal with the prosecutors, which would have meant evading prosecution on the gun possession charge, provided he maintained a clean record. However, this agreement met an abrupt end in July when it faced scrutiny from Republicans. In the wake of this, the replaced gun charge indictment, which has now been dismissed, was introduced a few weeks afterward. As of the present moment, special counsel David Weiss has not introduced any new charges related to tax matters.
