U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika officially signed off Wednesday on dismissing a gun-possession charge against Hunter Biden that was previously dropped by now-Special Counsel David Weiss.
Weiss dropped the gun charge on October 5 as a procedural step that originated from the collapsed plea deal. The dismissed gun charge was replaced with three unrelated gun charges against the president’s son.
Weiss charged Hunter Biden on September 14 with one count of false statement in the purchase of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and one count of false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer.
