As per recent court documents, Federal prosecutors in the United States are planning to request a grand jury to indict Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, by the end of September. The exact charges that he may face remain unclear at this point but seem related to a gun possession charge and his business dealings.

The Alleged Charges Against Hunter Biden

Hunter Biden has been accused of possessing a firearm while being a drug user. This accusation is coupled with an ongoing investigation into his business transactions by federal prosecutors. U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, who was recently appointed as special counsel in this case, mentioned seeking an indictment before September 29th in a status report demanded by Judge Maryellen Noreika.

Defense Arguments and Plea Deal

The defense attorneys have argued that an agreement sparing Hunter from prosecution on felony gun charges remains intact. This agreement was part of a plea deal on misdemeanor tax offenses which fell apart during a court appearance in July.

Biden's Tax Offenses

In June, Hunter Biden was charged with two misdemeanor crimes for failing to pay more than USD 100,000 in taxes from over USD 1.5 million income earned across 2017 and 2018 respectively. Following these charges, it had been anticipated that he would plead guilty after reaching an agreement with prosecutors who were planning to recommend two years.

This development brings forth yet another controversy involving the president's son within less than nine months since his father took office as President of the United States. As we await further developments regarding the nature of charges against Hunter Biden and possible indictment proceedings from federal prosecutors later this month; one thing is clear - these allegations continue to cast long shadows over President Joe Biden's administration.
