There is also a question as to whether Hunter Biden committed a felony when he bought the firearm. Politico obtained copies of the Firearms Transaction Record, and a receipt dated 11 days before the incident. In response to a question on the form that asked “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Hunter wrote “no” despite his history of illegal drug abuse and his discharge from the Navy Reserve five years prior after testing positive for cocaine. Lying on the form is a felony, though prosecutions are very rare. [More]
Several of you have asked me about this and noted a familiar pattern. Stephen and I are following up on my FOIA and will have more information soon.
