Judge in Hunter Biden gun case orders search warrants unsealed

The judge overseeing the federal weapons case against first son Hunter Biden has ordered that search warrants used in two investigations of the scion must be made public. Delaware US District Judge Maryellen Norieka granted a request Friday to unseal four search warrants used in special counsel David Weiss’s investigation of unlawful firearm possession and tax fraud cases against the now-53-year-old. The warrants are likely to shed light on the legal basis the feds had for seizing Biden’s electronic devices, as well as the evidence used to build the two criminal cases against him. The warrants were referenced in court papers earlier this month by Weiss’ office as it argued against Hunter’s bid to throw out the charges — prompting an independent journalist to seek their unsealing. Neither Biden’s defense team nor Weiss’ office objected to the records being unsealed. It is not immediately clear when the documents will be accessible.
