In a recent court filing, special counsel David Weiss, the prosecutor leading the case against Hunter Biden, unveiled photos and messages that support the government’s claim that the president’s son was using drugs at the time he purchased a firearm in 2018. It’s a case of ‘say cheese, and oh, by the way, where’s the nearest rehab clinic?’

The court documents, filed in response to Biden’s challenges about the format of the discovery provided to him, contained messages and photos from Biden’s alleged computer backup data. But wait, there’s a twist! Biden has yet to acknowledge the authenticity of this laptop’s contents, despite the headlines they’ve been making for years. It’s like a game of hide and seek, but with the truth.
Prosecutors fired back at Biden’s defense attorneys, who had argued that the data provided by Weiss was an “abyss” of information that was hard to search through. The defense team claimed it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Well, if you smoke crack like Hunter, you might actually enjoy that activity.
In response, the prosecutors unveiled images of text messages allegedly written by Biden, admitting to smoking crack on one occasion. They also included photos from 2018 that they claim to show drugs and drug paraphernalia. It’s like a modern-day digital scavenger hunt, and the prize is a potential felony conviction.
This isn’t the first time these messages and photos have seen the light of day. They were previously made public by someone Biden is now suing, alleging that his data was hacked and manipulated. And in a plot twist fit for a Hollywood blockbuster, there’s debate over the authenticity of one photo; is it sawdust or illicit drugs? Only time will tell. Cue the dramatic music.
Biden’s defense team sought permission to file a reply to Weiss within the following week, and the prosecutors had no objections. It’s like a legal game of tennis, with each side lobbing back and forth legal documents like they’re trading cards.
Let’s not forget that all of this drama stems from Weiss charging Biden with three felonies in Delaware and several tax violations in California. The first son has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges and is even trying to get the Delaware charges dropped. It’s like a high-stakes game of legal dodgeball, and it seems like everyone is trying to duck and weave their way out of trouble.
