Hunter Biden ripped by prosecutors for trying to subpoena Donald Trump

Prosecutors slammed Hunter Biden’s demand to see Donald Trump’s diaries, personal messages and correspondence the former president sent about the current president’s son, according to court records and reports.

Federal prosecutors in Delaware filed a lengthy opposition to Biden’s subpoena request for Trump, former Attorney General Bill Barr and two Justice department figures, according to court records.

“His motion is meritless and should be denied,” the response reads.

Biden, 53, stands accused of buying a revolver in 2018 in violation of a law banning drug users from owning guns, court records show. He pleaded not guilty after a plea deal collapsed in August.

His legal team in November filed a subpoena request to uncover evidence they hope will prove the federal case against President Joe Biden's son represents “a vindictive or selective prosecution” motivated by political pressures.

As evidence, it points to Barr’s memoir which recalls a 2020 exchange with the then-president that ended with tempers flaring.

“Dammit, Mr. President,” Barr said. “I am not going to talk to you about Hunter Biden. Period!”

In Monday's response, Special Counsel David Weiss called Biden’s demand vague and the evidence it would uncover inadmissible in court.

"It is black-letter law that claims of vindictive and selective prosecution are not trial defenses and may only be brought and litigated pretrial,” Weiss writes.

Biden has long been targeted by Trump and fellow conservatives who see the son as a means to prove the corruption of the father, although House Republicans’ attempts to find evidence have fallen flat.

The criminal probe into Hunter Biden’s past began when Trump was in power and have spanned his tax filings, overseas business dealings and battle to combat drug addiction.

This is one of five historic criminal cases pulling the White House into the nation’s court system in the wake of a presidential election. Hunter Biden is the first child of a sitting U.S. president and Trump the first former president to face criminal charges.
