Hunter Biden Claims DOJ Mistook Sawdust for Cocaine
The legal team for
Hunter Biden on Tuesday argued that the
Department of Justice (DOJ) had mistaken sawdust for cocaine in photos found on his phone and used as evidence in court against him.
The younger Biden is currently facing three gun charges leveled against him by federal investigators, alleging that he lied about his drug use while applying for a firearm permit. These charges were brought after the
FBI claimed to have found cocaine residue on a gun pouch that he owned in 2018.
"To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant had kept his gun," prosecutors said
On Tuesday, Hunter Biden's legal team
filed a new motion attempting to compel the provision of discovery documents, arguing that prosecutors had not provided enough material to that point. Within the filing, Lowell also dismissed photo evidence prosecutors used in court, which they claimed showed cocaine.
According to the attorney, the photos, which were taken from Hunter Biden's phone, actually show sawdust. He also claimed that the photos were sent to his client by someone else, his former psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Albow.
