Hunter Biden, son of the incumbent US president, is infamous for his involvement in many scandals, including substance abuse, commercial sex, infidelity, tax fraud and, probably, corruption at the highest level. Yet he always got away. However, the “gun incident” may change this.
Secret Service admitted the existence of documents connected to Hunter Biden`s alleged illegal ownership of a gun, even though they previously denied possessing the files.
According to media reports, representatives of the Secret Service approached firearms shop owner where Hunter Biden had illegally bought a gun, and demanded the paperwork connected to this transaction. The gun shop owner refused to comply, suspecting that the Secret Service officers wanted to hide Hunter’s ownership of the firearm.
This incident did not go unnoticed. Conservative activist group Judicial Watch sued the government agency for all materials concerning Hunter Biden`s ownership of a gun. The government watchdog group also highlighted the oddity of the Secret Service changing its stance on the case several times.
Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch President, marks the fact that “The Secret Service’s changing story on records raises additional questions about its role in the Hunter Biden gun incident.”
The gun incident Tom Fitton is referring to occurred in year 2018. Hunter Biden`s former sister-in-law, who became his lover, took his gun from a cupboard and threw it in a garbage can. She claims that her lover was mentally unstable at that moment and she was afraid for her life. Later she tried to retrieve the gun, but it was already at the police disposal. Approximately at this time, Secret Service officers approached the gun shop owner with demands to dispose of the paperwork, framing Hunter Biden.

Hunter Becomes the Hunted: Timeline of the Biden Laptop Saga as GOP Announces Criminal Probe
When law enforcement started to wonder about the origins of the gun, it was suspected that Hunter Biden had lied in order to buy it. He answered in the negative when asked about past substance abuse and substance addiction. But five years ago he was fired from the US Navy due to a positive test for cocaine and he admits in his memoires that he continued to abuse substances at least up to 2018.
Intentional misrepresentation of information while buying firearms is a criminal offense according to US law. Yet he was not charged.
In April 2021 the Secret Service responded to a watchdog request, promising to provide necessary documents on this case. However, a year later in October 2022 this governmental organization stated that the previous response was a mistake and that it doesn`t have any records relevant to the “Hunter Biden`s Gun Incident.”
Hunter Biden is currently in the crosshairs for being allegedly involved in many murky affairs but always gets away.
For instance, Hunter was connected to some companies that were accused of corruption. The most notorious case is his membership in the board of Ukraine's Burisma Group. His father then-Vice-President Joe Biden pressured then-president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko to fire top prosecutor, who was investigating Burisma activities.
However, the gun incident may reverse the momentum. According to results of November midterms, Republicans received a majority in House of Representatives. They already promised to launch a full-scale investigation on Hunter Biden`s activities. What is more important federal agents think that they have enough evidence to criminally charge Hunter Biden for illegal gun ownership.
