<p>President Joe Biden&#8217;s son, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>, will reportedly plead not guilty to federal gun charges, his lawyers said in a new court filing this week.</p>
<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s legal team requested in the Tuesday letter to the Court that he be allowed to make his initial appearance in court via a video call.</p>
<p>&#8220;We write on behalf of our client, Robert Hunter Biden, in response to the Court’s Order issued on September 18, 2023, related to Mr. Biden’s initial appearance,&#8221; Biden attorney Abbe Lowell wrote in a letter to U.S. Magistrate Judge from the District of Delaware Christopher Burke. &#8220;We respectfully request that the Court hold Mr. Biden’s initial appearance in this matter by video conference.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Mr. Biden also will enter a plea of not guilty, and there is no reason why he cannot utter those two words by video conference,&#8221; Lowell continued. &#8220;In short, Mr. Biden is satisfied that his constitutional rights will be met by conducting his initial appearance by video conference.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lowell also argued that a video conference should be allowed because Hunter Biden&#8217;s Secret Service protection would mean that &#8220;numerous agents and vehicles are required for what would have to be a two-day event (for a proceeding that may be very short in duration).&#8221;</p>

<p>Special counsel David Weiss filed charges against Hunter Biden this month son after the two sides failed to reach an agreement on a plea deal that fell apart last month. The agreement fell apart after U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned the limits of Hunter’s immunity under the deal.</p>
<p>The indictment charges the president’s son with three crimes related to false statements made on a federal application to purchase a firearm. The charges relate to a time when, in October 2018, Hunter claimed he was clean of drugs to purchase a handgun. He later wrote in his memoir that he was addicted to crack cocaine at the time.</p>
<p>Two of the counts carry max sentences of 10 years in prison, while the third carries a max sentence of 5 years, according to NBC News. The stiff sentences are a sharp contrast to the agreement worked out under the failed plea deal. The plea agreement would have freed Hunter from jail time and instead put him in a diversion program that, if completed successfully, would have wiped the gun charges from his record.</p>
<p>Hunter, “knowing that he was an unlawful user of and addicted to any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance … did knowingly possess a firearm, that is, a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver,” the indictment says.</p>
