NPRA special counsel will indict Hunter Biden in gun case this month, DOJ says Enlarge this image toggle caption Julio Cortez/AP Julio Cortez/AP Federal prosecutors say they will seek an indictment against Hunter Biden, President Biden's son, relating to gun charges by the end of the month, according to new court documents filed Wednesday. The new development comes a month after U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed David Weiss as special counsel in the investigation into the president's son, following a plea deal struck between Hunter Biden and federal prosecutors that fell apart. Sponsor Message Abbe Lowell, one of Biden's attorneys, told NPR in a statement they believe the signed and filed diversion agreement "remains valid" and prevents any additional charges from being filed against him. In a court filing of their own Wednesday, Biden's attorneys said he has continued to comply with the restrictions of the firearm diversion agreement — which required him to remain drug-free without committing additional crimes in order for his gun charge to be dismissed.
