Hunter Biden will face a new federal grand jury indictment relating to his gun charges by the end of the month, the Justice Department revealed in a court filing on Wednesday.
“The Speedy Trial Act requires that the Government obtain the return of an indictment by a grand jury by Friday, September 29, 2023, at the earliest. The Government intends to seek the return of an indictment in this case before that date,” special counsel David Weiss said in a document filed in the US District Court for the District of Delaware.
The filing was in response to an Aug. 31 oral order by the court for the Justice Department and Biden’s lawyers to provide it with a status update on the case, including any steps that they believe the Delaware court needs to take.
Lawyers for President Biden’s scandal-riddled son submitted their own update shortly after Weiss’, indicating that the 53-year-old has been following the conditions of a diversion agreement previously reached with federal prosecutors to avoid a felony gun charge.
“Mr. Biden has been following and will continue to follow the conditions of that Agreement, which the U.S. Attorney’s Office agreed and signed and informed the Court on July 20, 2023 that the Probation Office had agreed to and had recommended be put into effect,” his attorneys said in the filing.

Under the diversion agreement, Biden would have to remain sober, submit to drug testing, avoid committing other crimes for two years and agree not to own a firearm again.
The first son was set to receive sweeping immunity protection under a plea agreement he reached with federal prosecutors in June that would have enabled him to avoid prosecution on a felony charge of possessing a firearm while addicted to crack cocaine, but the deal fell apart in a Delaware courtroom in July.
Biden would have served two years probation for two tax misdemeanors and entered a diversion program for the gun charge under the terms of the ill-fated deal.

Weiss deviated from the plan during a turbulent, three-hour-long hearing in a federal courtroom in Wilmington, Del., where US District Judge Maryellen Noreika was expected to certify the agreement, telling the judge that the unprecedented agreement did not preclude prosecutors from the ongoing investigation into Biden’s alleged crimes – such as his alleged violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Biden’s lawyer, Chris Clark, called the plea agreement “null and void” upon hearing Weiss say that the government could pursue more charges.
Wednesday’s status update, however, implies that Hunter’s defense team believes that the agreement, at least on the gun charge, remains in force.

Blah, limited hangout to draw attention from the things that do matter. Process charges and a slap on the wrist penalty, and boom, he's paid his debt to society.
See everything is on the up and up. There's no persecution of any one right of radical left.
There is no tyrrany, the constitution is still in play.
You don’t have to wear a mask or get a jab its only mandatory.
The border is securely wide open.
