Hunter Biden’s legal team is going to use a Second Amendment defense to fight his three federal gun charges, according to letters his lawyers wrote to Department of Justice (DOJ) officials.
Biden’s lawyers wrote three letters to DOJ officials over the course of the investigation into their client, arguing potential gun charges would not hold up in light of constitutionality concerns and recent court rulings relaxing gun restrictions, Politico first reported Tuesday.
“We write regarding the Government’s recent disclosure that it is considering criminal charges against our client, Robert Hunter Biden, in connection with his alleged purchase and possession of a firearm over eleven days in October 2018,” attorneys for the law firm Latham & Watkins LLP wrote in an October 2022 letter to Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss.
