First son Hunter Biden will enter a plea of not guilty to charges of lying about being addicted to crack cocaine when he bought a gun in 2018, his lawyer revealed in a court filing Tuesday.
The 53-year-old’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, made the disclosure in a letter requesting US Magistrate Judge Christopher Burke waive the requirement that Hunter appear in person for his arraignment.
“No matter whether in person or virtual, he will waive reading of the indictment, which is merely a few pages and could easily be read at a video conference,” Lowell wrote. “Mr. Biden also will enter a plea of not guilty, and there is no reason why he cannot utter those two words by video conference.”
Lowell said the first son would pose a “logistical burden” to officials coordinating an in-person appearance at federal court in Wilmington, Del., along with various financial costs borne by the US Secret Service and the US Marshals Service.
“Without getting into specifics, numerous agents and vehicles are required for what would have to be a two-day event,” Lowell wrote. “This includes agents and vehicles in California and in Delaware, as well as agents who must travel with him on the plane.”
