Hunter Biden was indicted in September on three federal gun charges in Delaware stemming from his alleged 2018 purchase of a Colt Cobra revolver while he battled an addiction to illicit drugs.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges at an arraignment in October and faces up to 25 years in prison.
“In 2023, FBI investigators pulled sealed evidence from the state police vault to take photographs of the defendant’s firearm. After opening the evidence, FBI investigators observed a white powdery substance on the defendant’s brown leather pouch that had held the defendant’s firearm in October 2018,” the motion reads.
“Based on their training and experience, investigators believed that this substance was likely cocaine and that this evidence would corroborate the messages that investigators had obtained which showed the defendant buying and using drugs in October 2018. An FBI chemist subsequently analyzed the residue and determined that it was cocaine. To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant had kept his gun,” the filing adds.
