Federal prosecutors seek new indictment for Hunter Biden within next few weeks

Hunter Biden is back in the news and federal prosecutors are seeking ways to bring a new indictment by the end of September, which is only a few weeks away. The prosecutors want to ask a grand jury to indict Hunter Biden soon, according to the documents filed, as PBS reported in a political news article about the president's son.

It remains unclear what charges Hunter Biden will face, but it could be related to gun possession because he was previously accused of having a gun while he was using a drugs - something he probably should not have been doing. Hunter Biden was also under investigation for some of his business related issues and federal prosecutors were digging for corruption, scandals, or anything else they could charge him with. PBS reported more on the possible new indictment for Hunter Biden, saying the following in a political news article:


U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, newly named a special counsel in the case, referred to a seeking an indictment before Sept. 29 in a status report required by Judge Maryellen Noreika.


Defense attorneys said Hunter Biden has kept to the terms of an agreement sparing him from prosecution on a felony gun charge if he stays clean and out of trouble.


That agreement, which also contains an immunity clause against federal prosecutions for some other potential crimes, was part of a plea deal on misdemeanor tax offenses that fell apart during a court appearance in July. Defense attorneys argue it remains in force.


News of an possible new indictment comes as House Republicans are preparing for a likely impeachment inquiry of President Biden over unsubstantiated claims that he played a role in his son’s foreign business affairs during his time as vice president.


“If you look at all the information we have been able to gather so far, it is a natural step forward that you would have to go to an impeachment inquiry,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told Fox News recently.
