The indictment on Thursday revolves around an incident that took place on October 12, 2018. According to court documents, Hunter Biden is alleged to have made false statements on a federal firearms transaction record during the purchase of a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver from a licensed firearms dealer in Wilmington, Delaware.

The indictment is comprised of three counts:

- Count Two: charges Hunter Biden with making a false statement and representation to the licensed firearms dealer regarding the same information on the Form 4473.
- Count Three: alleges that between October 12, 2018, and October 23, 2018, Hunter Biden, knowing he was an unlawful user of and addicted to controlled substances, possessed the Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver, which had been shipped and transported in interstate commerce.
The indictment is signed by special counsel David C. Weiss. The indictment comes amid a series of controversies surrounding Hunter Biden over the past few years.
