It was in 2018 that the secret service intervened in an investigation into Hunter Biden for losing a gun (that he obtained through lying on a background check) and not reporting it.
Hunter responded “no” to a question on the transaction record that asks, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Just five years earlier he was discharged from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine. Family members had also spoken about the troubles Hunter had with drugs. Lying on the background check is a felony.
Hunter’s then girlfriend and brother’s widow Hallie Biden had found the gun, was concerned he would use it to harm himself, and threw it out in a public trash bin. Upon revealing to Biden what she’d done, he told her to go get it—but it was gone. Finish reading this surreal story!
