White House refuses to answer question on Hunter Biden's Second Amendment defense plan: 'I'm just not'
Fox News
Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer a question related to Hunter Biden's prior drug use and plans to to use the Second Amendment as a defense should he be charged with a gun crime.
Hunter, a known past drug user who battled drug abuse and addiction, has been under investigation by the Justice Department, a portion of which involves a 2018 gun purchase. During that time, Hunter said he was a regular cocaine user. Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News. Follow him on Twitter at @brandon_cg.
Federal law prohibits drug users from owning guns, but a Supreme Court ruling last year that essentially broadened Second Amendment protections puts that prohibition into question – and Hunter's lawyers could use the argument as part of his defense.
