Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors have announced that FBI investigators found cocaine powder on the pouch that held the gun Hunter Biden purchased in 2018.
In a court filing on Tuesday, Special Counsel David Weiss’s team revealed that FBI investigators retrieved Hunter Biden’s illegally purchased gun, tested it for drugs, and found “traces of cocaine.” Additionally, they urged the judge to reject Hunter Biden’s request to dismiss pending gun charges against him.
“In 2023, FBI investigators pulled sealed evidence from the state police vault to take photographs of the defendant’s firearm. After opening the evidence, FBI investigators observed a white powdery substance on the defendant’s brown leather pouch that had held the defendant’s firearm in October 2018,” the motion read.
“Based on their training and experience, investigators believed that this substance was likely cocaine and that this evidence would corroborate the messages that investigators had obtained which showed the defendant buying and using drugs in October 2018. An FBI chemist subsequently analyzed the residue and determined that it was cocaine. To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant had kept his gun,” the filing added.
President Joe Biden’s son formally entered a “not guilty” plea to three firearms charges back in October.
The gun in question is a “Colt Cobra revolver.” When Hunter purchased it in 2018, he falsely claimed in paperwork that he was sober. However, truthfully, he was still on hard drugs at the time.
Hunter was charged by Weiss with making false statements on a federal firearm form as well as possession of a firearm as a prohibited person. The three charges carry a maximum prison sentence of 25 years behind bars and a $250,000 fine.

How might the outcome of this case affect the reputation of the Biden family and the perception of the Biden administration’s commitment to upholding the law
Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors have announced that FBI investigators found traces of cocaine on the pouch that held the gun Hunter Biden purchased in 2018.
In a court filing on Tuesday, Special Counsel David Weiss’s team revealed that FBI investigators retrieved Hunter Biden’s illegally purchased gun, tested it for drugs, and found “traces of cocaine.” Additionally, they urged the judge to reject Hunter Biden’s request to dismiss pending gun charges against him.
This announcement comes as a blow to President Joe Biden’s son, who had pleaded “not guilty” to three firearms charges back in October. The gun in question is a Colt Cobra revolver, and when Hunter purchased it, he falsely claimed in paperwork that he was sober. However, it has been revealed that he was still using hard drugs at the time.
Hunter Biden’s charges include making false statements on a federal firearm form and possession of a firearm as a prohibited person. If convicted, he could face a maximum prison sentence of 25 years behind bars and a $250,000 fine.
The revelation of cocaine traces on the gun pouch adds more weight to the case against Hunter Biden. The DOJ’s filing emphasizes that the drugs found on the pouch corroborate other evidence showing the defendant’s involvement in buying and using drugs in October 2018.
It is important to note that this development is not only significant for Hunter Biden personally but also has broader implications politically. As the son of the President of the United States, any legal troubles he faces reflect upon the Biden administration.
While it remains to be seen how this case will unfold, the presence of cocaine traces on the gun pouch is a damning piece of evidence against Hunter Biden. The court will have to determine whether this evidence is admissible and how it will impact the overall outcome of the case.
As the legal proceedings continue, the public will be watching closely to see how the Biden administration handles this situation. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching consequences not only for Hunter Biden but also for the reputation of the Biden family and the perception of the administration’s commitment to upholding the law.
In the meantime, the DOJ’s announcement serves as a reminder that nobody is above the law, regardless of their familial connections or political standing. The legal system must be impartial and hold individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their background.
As this case unfolds, it will undoubtedly continue to attract national attention and spark debates about the intersection of politics, personal conduct, and the fair administration of justice.
