President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, allegedly took photographs with his phone of “apparent” cocaine, crack cocaine, and other drug paraphernalia, according to court documents filed by Biden’s Department of Justice.
“During November and December 2018, the defendant took multiple photographs of videos apparent cocaine, crack cocaine, and drug paraphernalia,” the DOJ said in a Tuesday court filing.
Hunter Biden faces several felony gun charges stemming from allegations that he lied on a background check form to obtain a firearm, falsely claiming that he was not addicted drugs.
The filing contained photographs of the alleged drugs, including lines of what appears to be cocaine on some sort of surface and a box that appeared to contain additional drugs and drug paraphernalia.
A federal grand jury indicted Biden, 53, last year on counts related to his purchase of a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver while he was allegedly using drugs in October 2018.
Biden faces a maximum of 25 years in prison and up to $750,000 in fines if convicted.
After Biden pleaded not guilty, the judge explained the terms of his release, which reportedly included: supervision by a U.S. probation officer in the Central District of California, seeking employment, and not using drugs or alcohol.
In a separate criminal case that Hunter Biden faces charges in over his taxes, prosecutors highlighted his drug use in court documents.
“Between 2016 and October 15, 2020, the Defendant spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes,” prosecutors said.
