Hunter Biden's indictment for lying about drug use to purchase a firearm
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has been indicted for allegedly lying about his drug use in order to buy and possess a gun. The Department of Justice has been accused of delaying the investigation and downplaying more serious charges against him, such as money laundering and tax evasion. However, the evidence found on Hunter Biden's laptop, which allegedly shows him unlawfully possessing a firearm while being a habitual cocaine user, presented a challenge for the DOJ to ignore. The case raises questions about the selective enforcement of laws and the application of the Second Amendment rights for unlawful drug users.
