Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son known largely for his mysterious lucrative foreign business dealings that the establishment media routinely ignored during the presidential election, may have committed a felony when purchasing a gun in 2018, purportedly lying about his history of drug use on a form.
A Politico piece details how the Secret Service reportedly “inserted” itself in an incident involving Hunter Biden and Hallie, his brother’s widow whom Hunter briefly dated. The situation had Hallie tossing a gun belonging to Hunter into a trashcan behind a grocery store, only to have the firearm later disappear.
According to the outlet, following the incident, Secret Service “approached the owner of the store where Hunter bought the gun and asked to take the paperwork involving the sale, according to two people, one of whom has firsthand knowledge of the episode and the other was briefed by a Secret Service agent after the fact”:
The gun store owner refused to supply the paperwork, suspecting that the Secret Service officers wanted to hide Hunter’s ownership of the missing gun in case it were to be involved in a crime, the two people said. The owner, Ron Palmieri, later turned over the papers to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, which oversees federal gun laws.
The Secret Service says it has no record of its agents investigating the incident, and Joe Biden, who was not under protection at the time, said through a spokesperson he has no knowledge of any Secret Service involvement.
Days later, the gun was returned by an older man who regularly rummages through the grocery’s store’s trash to collect recyclable items, according to people familiar with the situation.
