Biden held his first press conference since he took office on Thursday, March 25, the day his second son Hunter Biden’s scandalous confrontation with federal justice agents was once again spotlighted by several U.S. media outlets.
Several U.S. media outlets, including Newsmax, cited a Politico report that said Hunter Biden had confronted U.S. federal justice officers in 2018 over a missing handgun and may have even committed a felony.
Hunter was under Secret Service protection at the Time, the report said, even though he had no such authority. At the time, Hunter was still dating his brother’s widow, Halle. Haley found a revolver in Hunter’s pickup truck and, fearing that Hunter would use it to kill himself, she picked it up and put it in a shopping bag before throwing it in a trash can near a local supermarket in Wilmington, Delaware.
Hunter was so upset when he found it that he asked Haley to get the gun back. When she went to retrieve the gun, it was gone. She then called the store manager. The police received a call from the store’s general manager.
Then the FBI arrived on the scene with local police, and a police officer asked Hunter if he had used the gun to commit a crime. Hunter “became very agitated” and asked the police officer if he was trying to “make him crazy. When the police asked him if he was drunk or on drugs, Hunter replied, “That’s not true. I think she thought I was going to kill myself.”
As police continued their investigation, Secret Service agents found the gun store where Hunter bought the guns and demanded documents involving the sale. newsmax noted Thursday that the Secret Service allegedly attempted to destroy evidence of Hunter’s gun purchases after the handguns disappeared.
Two people familiar with the matter said the gun store owner refused to provide the documents, suspecting that Secret Service agents wanted to conceal Hunt’s ownership of the missing gun to prevent it from being implicated in a crime. The store owner later turned the documents over to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which oversees federal firearms laws.
A few days later, an elderly man who regularly rummaged through the grocery store’s trash returned the gun, and the incident did not result in any charges or arrests, according to Politico.
In a copy of gun transaction records and a gun receipt dated Oct. 12, 2018, obtained by Politico, Hunter responded to the question, “Do you illegally use or indulge in marijuana or any sedative, stimulant, narcotic drug or any other controlled substance?” The statement was answered in the negative. And Hunter, who was expelled from the Navy five years ago after testing positive for cocaine, talked to his Family about his history of drug use. And lying on federal documents is a felony.
At a March 24 White House news conference, New York Post reporter Stephen Nelson asked White House spokesman Sarkey directly if the former Moscow mayor’s wife paid $3.5 million to a company in Hunter Biden’s name back in 2014. Sarkey’s response said, “I’m not familiar with that claim. It doesn’t sound like there’s a lot of evidence to support that claim.”
The company was actually an investment firm co-founded by Hunter and his partner, Archer. The money was investigated in a separate fraud and corruption case, which was later dismissed.
