Comer warns that Hunter Biden special counsel might try to ‘sneak something through’ in new indictment

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer warned Wednesday that if Hunter Biden is indicted on gun charges it will not only be “least of all the crimes” the first son has been accused of — but also a sign that special counsel David Weiss may be trying to “sneak something through.” 

Comer (R-Ky.) cited Weiss’ previous attempt at negotiating an ill-fated plea deal with Biden’s attorneys that would have allowed the 53-year-old son of President Biden to avoid jail time as a reason to view any future indictment against Hunter with skepticism. 

“They already tried to sneak something through once. We need to make sure that they don’t do it again,” Comer told radio talk show hosts John Catsimatidis and Rita Crosby during an appearance on WABC 770 AM’s “Cats & Cosby Show” Wednesday. 

The Kentucky Republican was reacting to a filing by the Justice Department in a Delaware court Wednesday that indicated Hunter will face a new federal grand jury indictment sometime before Sept. 29 relating to his possession of a firearm while addicted to crack cocaine. 

“This is the least of all the crimes that Hunter Biden has committed,” Comer said of possible felony gun charges being brought against Hunter. 

“Obviously, he violated the law and Joe Biden wants to create more gun laws,” Comer added. “I mean, so you know, it’s … I’m not surprised. But David Weiss has a long way to go.”

The first son was set to receive sweeping immunity protection under a plea agreement he reached with federal prosecutors in June that would have enabled him to avoid prosecution on the gun charge, but the deal fell apart in a Delaware courtroom in July. 

Hunter would have served two years probation for two tax misdemeanors and entered a diversion program for the firearm violation under the terms of the collapsed deal. 

Weiss was named special counsel in the case by Attorney General Merrick Garland after the plea agreement fell through, a move that was slammed by Comer and several other Republican lawmakers in light of IRS whistleblower allegations that the Biden administration engaged in a coverup throughout the course of the investigation. 

“Yeah, look, I think everybody in America needs to be paying close attention to this,” Comer said of the upcoming indictment.
