Special counsel David Weiss has opposed a request from lawyers for Hunter Biden to hold a virtual hearing on gun charges brought against the first son.
Weiss asked US Magistrate Judge Christopher Burke on Wednesday to deny attorney Abbe Lowell’s request to hold a remote hearing, saying Hunter should not receive special treatment.deliberations at Hunter’s July 26 plea hearing
“The confusion they caused resulted in the Court twice recessing the proceeding only to ultimately defer a decision on the proposed and subsequently withdrawn diversion and plea agreements. On Sept. 14, Weiss charged Hunter Biden with three counts of having lied about his drug use when purchasing a firearm in 2018. The first son admitted in his 2021 memoir “Beautiful Things” to using crack cocaine during that time.
Hunter’s plea deal blew up in federal court under persistent questioning from Delaware US District Judge Maryellen Noreika, who asked prosecutors about an immunity provision that would have kept them from charging Hunter for past crimes.
