Special counsel David Weiss said he opposes Hunter Biden's request to appear for his arraignment virtually, citing the “serious felony gun charges at issue' in the case.
was charged by Special Counsel David Weiss with making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm; making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer; and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
"The government opposes the defendant’s request to hold a virtual initial appearance and arraignment on the indictment that was returned by a grand jury on September 14, 2023," Weiss said in a filing."Fifteen months ago, the Court’s standing order authorizing virtual proceedings during the pandemic expired.
Lowell also added that Biden is seeking a video appearance"to minimize an unnecessary burden on government resources and the disruption to the courthouse and downtown areas when a person protected by the Secret Service flies across the country and then must be transported to and from a downtown location."The federal gun charges are the first Weiss has brought against the first son since being granted special counsel status.
