In a key development, Delaware Federal District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika refused to dismiss the federal gun charges against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. This announcement means that Hunter Biden’s case will continue moving forward. Originally, Hunter Biden’s move to dismiss the charges claimed that the appointment of Special Counsel David Weiss was unlawful based on the Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations. These regulations state, “The Special Counsel should be selected from outside the United States Government.”
Hunter Biden’s argument was dismissed by Noreika due to the last sections of the Special Counsel regulations, which assert that there are no rights, whether substantive or procedural, able to be enforced at law or equity from these regulations. The last section of the Special Counsel regulations was cited in the dismissal.
Focusing on the Appropriations Clause of the US Constitution, Hunter Biden also alleged Weiss’s appointment violated this, due to the funding for Weiss’s position as Special Counsel having lapsed and Weiss not being “independent” as defined by the statute, whilst he was a US Attorney for the District of Delaware. This argument was also dismissed by Noreika.
The federal gun charges against Hunter Biden, brought forward in Delaware, are based on allegations of him lying about his drug addiction on federal firearm purchase forms. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Along with the Delaware gun charges, Hunter Biden is also faced with nine federal criminal tax charges in California. FBI informant allegations of both President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden receiving bribes from a Ukrainian industrial company called Burisma were proven to be false, but the charges and allegations against Hunter Biden have sparked a US House of Representatives impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.
