The U.S. Secret Service was involved in a bizarre incident in which a gun related to Hunter Biden was thrown in a trash behind a grocery store that was then found missing, the Politico website said Thursday.
Delaware police were concerned that the gun, revolution .38, was found and used in a crime, the website said, adding that it was finally discovered by a man who was searching the trash for next -circulation.
The secret service to which you went to the shop where the gun was bought went, trying to get records of the transaction. The owner declined.
Hunter Biden is the second son of the president. The incident happened at the end of October 2018, when Joe Biden left the office and did not receive formal protection from the Secret Service.
Hunter Biden was the target of efforts by Donald Trump supporters to dig up political filth on the family, attempts that led to Trump’s first impeachment. A kind website, the fire, reported on the gun incident last October.
The Secret Service told Politico they had no record of the alleged incident. A spokesman also said that “records confirm that the organization did not protect any member of Biden’s family in 2018, and that the Secret Service had no role in this alleged incident.”
A White House spokesman said on the website: “President Biden had no knowledge of, or involvement in, the secret service of the Secret Service in this incident, and neither he nor a family member. no defender at that time. “
Politico also said the Secret Service had been involved in the informal defense of the former vice president. The Secret Service did not comment on that claim.
Politico said he received copies of records related to the purchase of Hunter Biden with the gun on October 12, 2018. He said he answered “no” to a question about illegal use or addition to marijuana. or depression, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance ”.
“Five years earlier,” the website said, “he was released from the U.S. naval reserve after testing positive for cocaine, and he and family members have talked about his history. on drug use. “
“Lying on the form is a philosophy, although accusations against it are very rare.”
The website also said the gun was thrown in the trash by Joe Biden’s daughter-in-law Hallie Biden, the widow of President Beau Biden’s son, a Delaware attorney who died of brain cancer in 2015 .
Hallie Biden and Hunter Biden were then in a romantic relationship, Politico reported. Hallie Biden returned to the grocery store to find the gun, but could not.
Citing a Delaware police report, Politico said Hunter Biden told officers he used the gun for target use. When asked if the gun was used in a crime, he thought he was “deeply tempted” and asked if an officer was “trying to drive him mad”.
When asked if he had been a drug addict or a heavy drinker, he believed: “Listen, it’s not like that. I think she believes I was going to kill myself. “
Politico ‘s report offers a taste of what’ s to come when Hunter Biden releases a memoir next month.
The book, Beautiful Things, will be based on Biden ‘s well – known problems with substance misuse, according to the Book Gallery, a miniature of Simon & Schuster which won the title in late 2019.
The book’s news was kept under wraps while Hunter Biden’s business affairs were to be a fix for Trump and others during the election and his finances are a case of scrutiny by the U.S. justice department.
The book’s publicity plans are still unclear. The Guardian has been told that Hunter Biden will not be sitting for interviews with print titles.
Politico said neither Hallie Biden nor a lawyer for Hunter Biden responded to requests for comment.
