TL;DR Summary

Hunter Biden has filed motions to dismiss gun charges against him in Delaware, claiming that special counsel David Weiss succumbed to political pressure in bringing the case. Biden argues that the charges should be dropped as a vindictive prosecution and that Weiss was illegally elevated to the special counsel role. He also asserts that he should be immune from the gun charges under a prior plea agreement and that his Second Amendment rights protect his right to buy a weapon despite drug use. Biden's legal team argues that Weiss changed his decision due to political pressure and that federal prosecutors reneged on a plea agreement. The filing also challenges the constitutionality of the gun possession charge and questions Weiss's authority as special counsel.
