In what appears to be just the latest scandal engulfing the first family, compliments of Hunter, Politico reported that his sister-in-law, with whom he was having a romantic relationship at the time, seized a handgun from his pickup truck, took it to a dumpster behind a local upscale grocery store, and proceeded to chuck the gun inside.
Later, after telling Hunter what she had tone, Hallie Biden went back to retrieve the .38 revolver on Hunter’s instructions but it wasn’t there. Turns out that a man who frequently digs rummages through the trash bin found the gun and turned it over to the grocer.
At some point, the Politico report notes, Secret Service agents stationed in Wilmington, Del., where Biden, the then-ex-VP lives, visited the gun store where Hunter bought the weapon and asked for the sales paperwork. Fearing the agents were simply going to take the paperwork and memory hole it, he refused to give it up; later, agents from the ATF showed up to inspect the sales records.
But what was the Secret Service doing getting involved in what appeared to be a lover’s spat, especially since Joe Biden was not under protection by the agency at the time? Why would the agents attempt to confiscate the gun sales record?
