Hunter Biden Demands Court Issue Subpoena for Donald Trump

Hunter Biden has asked a court to subpoena former President Donald Trump, and others, claiming the criminal case against him may be politically driven.

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has asked a court to issue subpoenas to four individualsโ€”including former President Donald Trumpโ€”claiming that the criminal probe that led to tax and gun charges against him may have been a politically-driven “vindictive or selective prosecution.”

The Nov. 15 filing demands that the court issue subpoenas for documents and materials related to President Trump, former Attorney General William Barr, former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, and former acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue.

Mr. Biden’s lawyers justified the subpoena request on grounds that they’re needed for their client to prepare his defense in the criminal case against him, which includes charges of possessing a handgun while addicted to drugs.

The investigation into Mr. Biden that led to his pending case in a Delaware court began in 2018, while President Trump was in office.

The investigation culminated in an indictment against Mr. Biden in September 2023 on three counts in connection with allegations that he made false statements to a gun dealer and possessed a firearm while using drugs.

The information sought by Mr. Biden is allegedly crucial for his defense, as it aims to establish whether the investigation or prosecution against him was influenced by external pressures or executive branch officials.

“Mr. Biden seeks specific information from three former DOJ officials and the former President that goes to the heart of his defense that this is, possibly, a vindictive or selective prosecution arising from an unrelenting pressure campaign beginning in the last administration, in violation of Mr. Biden’s Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution,” the filing reads.

The filing not only suggests that the case against Mr. Biden may have been brought due to undue political pressure but that President Trump and the other individuals named in the document  have “each had a hand in one way or another” in the case as it remains pending to this day.

Neither the DOJ nor President Trump’s campaign responded to requests for comment for this story.

The Charges

The criminal charges facing the president’s son date back to 2018 and relate to his purchase and possession of a handgun.
