Hunter Biden, the president's son, had his attorneys present a dismissal motion for his indictment on firearm-related charges in federal court in Delaware earlier this week. Biden's attorneys contend that the indictment goes against a previously agreed upon plea deal, which, they argue, is still in effect.

David Weiss, Special Counsel, charged Hunter Biden with false statements in a firearm transaction, fraudulent statements required by a licensed firearms dealer, and possession of a firearm by someone unlawfully using or addicted to controlled substances.

Hunter Biden largely denied all allegations as of October last year. The underlying plea deal, which incorporated a deferment agreement, had fallen through by late July.

As part of the forfeited agreement, Biden was slated to plead guilty to misdemeanor tax charges pertaining to the willful non-payment of federal income taxes, originally sparing him the potential incarceration that might be associated with a felony gun conviction. This arrangement unraveled during his recent court appearance.

The argument from Biden's attorneys, led by Lowell, is that the indictment of their client is in violation of the deferral agreement standing between Hunter Biden and the prosecutorial team. Lowell draws attention to the prime agreement, criticized by some as overly generous. He points out that the prosecution had stated as early as July that they would not file firearms charges 'based on the firearm specified in the factual narrative to the deferment agreement.'
