Hunter Biden is anticipated to be indicted on a federal gun charge by the end of September, several sources now confirm.

This after a plea agreement that would have spared him jail time for a felony charge involving the purchase of a firearm in 2018 fell apart in July.

The saga took a twist when U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, who oversees the case, refused to accept the plea and pretrial diversion agreements initially offered to Hunter Biden.

Noreika, presiding over the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, deemed the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) deal as “unconstitutional,” “not standard,” and “different from what I normally see,” Fox News Digital reported.

Originally, Hunter Biden was poised to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax counts for willful failure to pay federal income tax. This plea arrangement was crafted to circumvent the felony gun charge and avoid incarceration. However, Noreika’s refusal to endorse this deal led to a change of course.

As a result, Hunter Biden entered a not guilty plea to two misdemeanor tax charges and one felony gun charge.

Attorney General Merrick Garland subsequently appointed Special Counsel David Weiss to oversee the Hunter Biden investigation and address any related matters that might arise during the probe.

This move aimed to ensure impartiality and address concerns of politicization that had arisen during the prolonged investigation into the President’s son.

The gun-related aspect of this case dates back to 2018 when police responded to an incident involving Hunter Biden. At the time, a firearm registered to him was discovered discarded in a trash can near a Delaware market. Reports suggest that Hallie Biden, the widow of President Biden’s late son, Beau, and Hunter’s girlfriend at the time, disposed of the firearm.

The reason people care about Hunter Biden isn't because he is a tax cheat, a gun criminal, or a drug user.

People care because the Biden family is involved in bribery and corruption.

A firearm transaction record revealed that Hunter Biden had purchased the gun earlier that month. Of note, on the transaction record, Hunter answered negatively when asked if he was an “unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance.”
